From an Antiquities Dealer in Germany. The design of this brooch has a Greek cross
(Equal armed cross) but it also shows a grate. This grate symbolism should be of that
which was used during the taurobolium (Bull sacrifice) of the cultic rites of the goddess
Cybele. The grate is also one of the symbols of St. Lawrence, this saint is one the Three
Saints of Rome.
