Mithras was the sun and he was also the God of the Persians; and according to Ovid's account horses were offered in sacrifice to him, Placat equo Persis radiis Hyperiona cinctum, Ne detur celeri victima tarda Deo.

"Vir bonus, omne forum quem spectat et omne tribunal, Quandocuncque Deos vel porco vel bove placat, Jane Pater, clare, clare, cum dixit, Apollo, Labra movet metuens audiri Pulchra Laverna, Da mihi fallere, da justum sanctumque videri, Noctem peccatis et fraudibus objice nubem."
