Black Stone: The black stone, believed to be a meteoric object and the representation of Cybele, was brought to Rome and housed in her temple.
Following the consultation of the Sibylline Books, Roman authorities decided to bring the sacred black stone representing Cybele from her Phrygian sanctuary in Pessinus to Rome.
The sacred black stone, believed to be a meteorite and considered an aniconic representation of the goddess, was also kept within the temple.
