A gem from the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid is studied here, with special attention to the symbolism of the raven in the mysteries of Mithras, of which the gem depicts the sacrifice of the bull. The magical and astrological meaning of the gem enhances the profound meaning of the Mithraic religion.
