taurobolium
altar was almost invariably inscribed to both the Mother and Attis, while the inscription was to the Mother alone when the taurobolium only was performed. The celebration of the criobolium was widespread, and its importance such that it was sometimes performed in place of the taurobolium (Corp. Inscr. Lat. vi. 505, 5o6). The details and effect of the ceremony were no doubt similar to those of the taurobolium. (G. SN.)End of Article: CRIOBOLIUM If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
