Sculptures of Epona fall into five types, as distinguished by Benoît: riding, standing or seated before a horse, standing or seated between two horses, a tamer of horses in the manner of ''[[potnia theron]]'', and the symbolic mare and foal. In the Equestrian type, common in [[Gaul]], she is depicted sitting side-saddle on a horse or (rarely) lying on one; in the Imperial type (more common outside Gaul) she sits on a throne flanked by two or more horses or foals.<ref>Nantonos, 2004.</ref> In distant [[Dacia]], she is represented on a [[stela]] (now at the Szépmüvézeti Museum, Budapest) in the format of [[Cybele]], seated frontally on a throne with her hands on the necks of her paired animals: her horses are substitutions for Cybele's lions.
