The Sun Wheel symbol is believed to invoke the great cosmic powers to bless the Earth with fertility, life, abundance, prosperity and peace.

For the Romans, it symbolized the sun god Sol Invictus, or "The Invincible Sun," who was depicted driving a chariot drawn by four horses. This imagery highlighted the importance of the sun in sustaining life and its role in religious and cultural practices.

The Sun Wheel's design also appeared in mosaics and jewellery, blending pagan symbolism with early Christian art during the Roman era. It represented cosmic cycles and the passage of time, reflecting humanity's connection to the natural world.
