I just wanted to show this really rad Leontocephaline statue I found. It's the Castel Gandolfo Leontocephaline, and I love it for looking like a literal JRPG final boss. You can practically tell which parts of it would've had their own health bar, it's amazing.

Hello! Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help. I'm not familiar with this deity and my knowledge on them is limited to what I've literally just read on Wikipedia.

But maybe someone who stumbles across this post has any resources and info on this deity?

Arimanius.

He’s one of the possible identities of the leontocephaline statues of the Mithraic mysteries. Other proposed identities for the statues include Chronos, Zurvan, and a demiurge.

Ok so Jason just showed up… briefly… kind of. Not in person or as a ghost. But still. Mithras' servant, eh?

*five minutes of Wikipedia later*

Arimanius. It's Arimanius. Not much info on Wikipedia on his role as a Mithraic god (ha! I called the other-gods-involved part on the Bingo!), but at least we know who we're up against now.
