Two-Headed Serpent Vessel Found at Spanish Roman Villa Suggests Widespread Worship of Sabazios

Nearly 2,000-year-old vessel with two snake heads found at Roman villa in Spain

A Roman villa in Spain yielded fragments of a unique two-headed serpent vessel. This artifact suggests the private worship of the god Sabazios spread widely. Laboratory tests indicate the vessel likely originated from Roman Africa. Evidence for this cult on the Iberian Peninsula is generally scarce. The find highlights the quiet reach of ancient religious practices into rural areas.
