Sol Invictus was a Roman sun god worshipped by emperors and soldiers in the late Roman Empire. This is because Sol Invictus represented the power and glory of the sun and was seen as a protector and a source of victory. Sol Invictus also influenced the development of Christianity, as some of his symbols and festivals were adopted by early Christians.

#HappyNewYear to everyone 🥂

I hope you welcomed the new year with as much joy as #Sol Invictus and Mithras are displaying in this polychrome reproduction of a Mithraic banquet scene featuring #Mithras and the #SolInvictus banqueting on the hide of the slaughtered bull 🥳
Sol is raising his drinking horn, large rays of light emerging from his head in the background.
Prosit!

L'idea del Sol Invictus è quella che mi attrae. 8 dicembre, 21 dicembre, 25 dicembre, 1 gennaio, tutte date pensando al sole che sorge iniziando un nuovo ciclo.
Solstizio d'inverno.
Vivo secondo il sole e i prossimi sei mesi sono un crescendo.

There is a thing where people buy these candles shaped like #Christmas trees, and they use them as decorations, taking them out every year, and packing them away again safely afterwards, using them for years.

Me?

I lit that fucker up. It is a candle! It looks gorgeous burning. Although even lit for a few hours a day, it might make it all the way to new years. #MerryChristmas #IoSolInvictus #SolInvictus #JoinIn
