The “magic sphere” of Helios

Found in the Theater of Dionysus in 1866, this mystical object, dating back to the ~2nd-3rd century AD, is made of marble, shaped like a sphere, and depicts Helios, Greek Solar God.

Here He is representing a κοσμοκράτωρ, “master” or “lord” of the world. He is seated on a throne with a whip in one hand and three lit torches in the other. While the purpose of the object is a subject of many questions, many agree that it might have been used for magical rituals - perhaps by competitors in sportive and theatrical events in the theater it was found in.
