Sol Invictus is the cult of the Unconquered Sun, central to the imperial ideology of its period in Mediterraneum.
- The cult admits several faces according to each devotee’s cosmic allegiance: the luminous Law, the temperate Law and the shadowy Law coexist under the same sun.
- Elagabalus (Elio Gábalo, Heliogabalus) promoted the solar cult about 40 years before the period of the gesta (campaign-cycle).
- It is connected with Gamel, a Syrian god (“the mountain”).
- Maristo prays to Sol Invictus after suffering a spiritual diminishment for killing Simón.
- A solar symbol (Aten) appears on the breastplate of Iskandar.
