BULL
Bullfighting traces its roots to prehistoric bull
worship and sacrifice. The killing of the sacred bull (tauromachy)
is the essential central iconic act of Mithras, which was
commemorated in the mithraeum wherever Roman soldiers were
stationed. Many of the oldest bullrings in Spain are located on the
sites of, or adjacent to the locations of temples to Mithras.
Bullfighting is often linked to ancient Rome where, when many
human-versus-animal events were held as a warm-up for gladiatorial
sports. Alternatively, it may have been introduced into Hispania by
the Moors in the 11th century, although there are theories that it
was introduced into Hispania a millennium earlier by the Emperor
Claudius when he instituted a short-lived ban on gladiatorial games,
as a substitute for those combats. The latter theory was supported
by Robert Graves. In its original Moorish and early Iberian form,
the bull was fought from horseback using a javelin. (Picadors are
the remnants of this tradition, but their role in the contest is now
a relatively minor one limited to "preparing" the bull for the
matador.) Bullfighting spread from Spain to its Central and South
American colonies, and in the 19th century to France, where it
developed into a distinctive form in its own right
