Taranis and the Sacred Wheel

A bearded god, often identified as Taranis, grips a cosmic wheel while emerging from a rectangular frame on this Gundestrup Cauldron panel (150 BC - 1 AD). A warrior assists beside a horned serpent, as griffins and leopards encircle the scene. The wheel may symbolize fate, the sun, or divine order, in a ritual of cosmic activation or rebirth.
