Biography
of Guntha
TNMP 222
In the 3rd century Guntha and his companions Marcellinus and Placidus offered a relief of Mithras killing the sacred bull. Guntha and Marcellinus were lions, while we do not know about Placidus.
The workmanship of the relief, the names of the dedicators and the spelling sacrathis [sic] betray the servile and modest status of these men, who probably belonged to the same community.
