THRACIAN MYSTERY PLAQUE Horse Riders DIOSCURI earth Mother Lead metal DRACO Owl
Click picture to see larger image size. Ancient Greek Thracian Mystery Plaque A N C I E N T G R E C O- R O M A N Ca.1st-3rd Century. Thracian Mystery Plaque represents a pair of Thracian riders each trampling an enemy/barbarian. Flying the Dacian Draco. Heraldically facing the Great Mother Bendis within a double arched portico with a facing owl perched at the top center and three horizontal registers.

Only three degrees of initiation were present in the mysteries of the Dacian Riders: Aries(ram" Miles(soldier" and Leo(lion" The first two were placed under the influence of the planet Mars, the last one under the influence of the sun.
