    A  tombstone  with  seven  busts  (second  or  early  third centur y  AD),  which  was  most  probably  discovered  at Črnomelj in Bela Krajina, displays poorly visible side reliefs. On  the  right  side  a  human  figure  with  horns  and  hooves and a dog trying to bite his thigh are depicted. On the left a  horseman  holding  a  spear  is  represented  in  the  upper field,  while  in  the  lower  part  three  figures  are  depicted, of whom the middle one is a woman; a man with a spear is standing in front of her.Peter  Petru  explained  the  badly  preserved  figures  as scenes  referring  to  the  Celtic  god  Cernunnos  and  to  hu-man  sacrifice  performed  in  his  honour.  However,  these depictions would better correspond to the episodes from the myth of Actaeon
