Many ancient peoples respected the bull as a symbol of strength and fertility. Their size, power and potency have impressed man for many thousands of years. A famous example are the Ancient Egyptians who observed the religious cult of Apis, the Bull of Memphis.

In ancient Rome the bull was a sacred symbol. The Romans celebrated the taurobolium, when a bull was sacrificed as an offering to ensure the wellbeing of the people and the Roman state. The bull was associated with Jupiter and Bacchus and was also involved in the religious cult of Mithras.

The bull was the symbol of the Third Gallica Legion, established by Julius Caesar in 49 BC. The animal was attributed to Venus, whom Caesar claimed as his ancestor.
Their strength was also seen as a symbol of the Roman state. As a sacrifice, the bull's power was seen as a way to appease the gods and to ensure their favour.

The theme of the bull has persisted for centuries and is a popular design on seals, coins, jewellery and sculptures.

nice piece. Just a bit sad that it does not come with any info on the provenance. "Gallery/Antique dealer" is just not helpful.
