Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the Roman Sol with an epithet, invictus (unconquered) that was commonly given to Sol from the second century AD onwards. There is much confusion about this Sol Invictus because modern scholarship long maintained that he was actually a distinct sun god introduced from Syria by the emperor Aurelian in 274.
