215. Marble votive slab of the Thracian Rider God Marble slab with a semicircular top, on the right a galloping Thracian Rider God. In the left of the rider a round shield, in his raised right a short hunting spear. Under the feet of the horse a hunting dog chases a boar. On the top and bottom rim a Greek inscription. The votive slab was set to the god Kendrisos by a certain Beithynicos, son of Tarsos, who had a Thracian name. The letters of the inscription were originally accentuated by a red paint. The slab was made most likely in Thracia. Inscribed: Кирш KevSpeioö) Bei9uvticoç Tapoou euxTiv. - 2nd century A.D. - 33,5x24,5 cm. - Dunapentele-Öreghegy (Intercisa) - MNM, Inv.no. 14.1907.5.

On both sides of the table a column each, bound together by an astragales arch. Outside of the arch, in the corners, a snake each. Under the arch the quadriga of Sol, the solar deity, under it in the centre a standing female figure surrounded by riders with upwards raised arms. In the picture field under the riders a banqueting society reclining on a semicircular couch, near them a servant carves up an animal hanging from a tree. On the right two human figures, hand in hand, in the bottom picture field in the centre kantharos, left of it a snake and a three-legged table: right from the kantharos a lion reclining, jug and cock. - 2nd/3rd century A.D. -7,6x7,5 cm. - Mitrovica (Sirmium) - MNM, Inv. no. 56.23.2. M.Na. 217. A votive lead tablet showing the Danubian Rider Gods The tablet is rectangular. Missing is the top left corner; the bottom rim is very damaged and worn away. There are columns with capitals which rise above the arc ornamented with astragals. Curled up snakes and rosettes are depicted to both sides above the aedicule (the left side has not been preserved). The bust of Sol with a crown emitting rays is shown in the aedicule under the arc, his right hand outstretched to the side and bent at the elbow with a disproportionately large open palm. In his lowered left hand Sol holds a sphere above which flutters a cloak. To the left of Sol's head is a star. It is difficult to discern what was depicted to the right as this area is damaged. Below Sol, to the right and left, are a pair of galloping horses pulling a cart. Above the horses heads is an object which could be a tore. Height in the section below and in the middle is a female figure dressed in a long robe holding an object, which cannot be identified. A horseman to either side of her is shown approaching her with open arms. To the left, under the horse's hoof is a fish and to the right an outstretched human body. Behind the horseman to the left is a soldier with a spear and shield, to the one on the right a woman in a long robe with her right hand raised. In the third section, in the middle, around a set table on which a fish on a platter is served, sit three figures. To the left of them is a tree from which hangs an animal being disemboweled by a man. Next to him is a figure, difficult to discern, but, judging by the analogy, he should be wearing the mask of a ram. On the opposite side there are two figures holding hands and approaching the table. In the last section, on the right, one can easily discern a large kantharos in the middle, a curled up snake with raised head and a cock which is barely discernable. To the left there is an animal figure (probably a lion) next to the vessel and a snake. The area where there should be a three-legged stool is very worn out. - 3rd century A.D. -9,4x7,5x0,2 cm.; lead. - Vukovar - ZAM, Inv. no. 16890. Unpublished. A.R-M. 109
