Autun: Gallo-Roman relief of Sucellus (Musee Rolin; photo Athena Review 2012)


This sandstone carving of Sucellus (inv. 128) was found in 1885 at the maison du Tiers-Ordre on rue Blanche in Autun. 

The bearded Sucellus, one of the main Gallo-Roman deities, wears a short tunic and holds a mallet-like hammer in his left hand and a goblet in his right.
