An ancient amulet from the fifth century A.D. depicting Solomon spearing a demon on horseback was discovered at the site of Hadrianopolis. The amulet is believed to be a significant artifact for Anatolian archaeology and is the first of its kind found in Anatolia. The names of the angels Azrael, Gabriel, Michael, and Israfil are listed on the reverse of the pendant. The finding suggests that Solomon was considered a protective figure for the Roman and Byzantine cavalry stationed at Hadrianopolis.
