File:Iupiter Ammon.jpg

English: A depiction of the hatted and skirted male statue discovered in 1714 in the Southbroom Hoard near Devizes, Wiltshire, from the figures decorating the margins of Moll's map of "Dorset Shire" (Dorset), the fifth in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales... The figure was placed on the map of a different county for want of room. Moll copied the figure's appearance and identification from Musgrave's 1719 account of the hoard.

This copper alloy statue is now held by the British Museum (1811,0309.1). Musgrave identified it as Figure 2 (M2) while Durham categorized it as #373. Musgrave inexplicably identified the figure as Jupiter Amun, which was repeated by Moll despite the lack of ram horns. The general pose prompted the British Museum and Durham to very tentatively identify the figure as Mars, although the Phrygian cap is closer to the iconography of Jupiter Dolichenus and the cap, pose, and torch attribute in the left hand is very similar to Mithras the Rock-Born. In other statues of Mithras Petrogene or Petrogenes, the missing right hand would typically be holding a wide Iranian knife. The deep straight pleats of the skirt match those in other Romano-British sculpture.

Notes: These Houshold Gods in number 19 with a Medal of Alexander Severus were found at the Devizes An. 1714 and are supposed to have been bury'd there in 234. the Rest for want of Room are placed in Dorset and Hampshires yat are barren of Antiquities; we being unwilling to omit such great Curiosities.
