silver patera rescued from oblivion by Miss A. Levi and now in the Brera at Milan.
When found at Parabiago in Lombardy it was serving as the lid of a grave-amphora.
It shows in fine relief of c. 150—200 A. I), the triumph of Attis. He is seated with Kybele
in a car drawn by four lions and accompanied by three dancing Kouretes. Above are the
rising Sun and setting Moon with Morning and Evening Stars. Below, Okeanos and
a Nereid, with fish showing their heads above water. On the left, two Fresh Water
Nymphs with reeds. On the right, Earth with cornu copiae, various animals, and a pair
of infants. Between, the four Seasons as children. Higher up, Atlas carrying Aion in
a zodiacal ring, and an Obelisk twined about with a snake. This cosmic design on a
concave circular field is a magnificent specimen of symbolic art, and is to be published
with full commentary by Miss Levi in Opere if Arte del R. Istititto di Archeologia e Storia
dell' Arte (Roma).

hand with five thick rings supporting his head, his right with fera/Jos or 'arm-band'
holding pine-sprig and rosary. The arm-band is decorated with reliefs of Kybele seated
between two standing figures, Attis and Hermes. And at the priest's feet is the usual
klsle. Two oblong reliefs from the same find-spot represent the same priest with his
insignia offering fruit before a seated Kybele and holding torches before a standing Attis.
