Late Roman Silver Plaque with Temple to Jupiter-Sabazios 2nd-3rd century A.D. A silver provincial votive plaque of pentagonal form with a gable top, bearing a repoussé scene composed of a seated figure of Jupiter-Sabazios in relief within a temple, flanked by grapes, an ear of wheat and two stars, a statue of the god Mercury on the left and an eagle grasping thunderbolts on the right, standing on a globe; mounted on a custom-made display frame. Cf. Gavrilovi? Vitas, N., Ex Asia et Syria, Oriental Religions in the Roman Central Balkans, Oxford, 2021, fig.8, p.233. 145 grams, 17.5 cm (6 7/8 in.). Ex Schulman Coin and Antiquities, Amsterdam, 1970s-1980s. Important North West London collection. Among Roman inscriptions from Nicopolis ad Istrum, Sabazios is generally equated with Jupiter and mentioned alongside Mercury. The plaque is probably a votive sheet produced in the Danubian Provinces to honour the god. The piece was probably the upper part of a bigger votive plate, and similarly to some Danubian aediculae, the relief presentation shows the aedicula decorated with vegetative ornaments and rosettes. Inside the aedicula, Jupiter-Sabazios is presented as a mature bearded man, dressed in chiton and himation, originally probably holding a patera in his right hand.
