I wanted to share this paper on what is most likely the symbolism of the Crescent and V rod because I was curious and figured it had some sort of mathematical explanation and managed to dig this up.
It seems pretty clear to me that it is in fact a sun calendar and a very simple one at that! That doesn't at all preclude Mithraism though!
The author walks you through diagramming the symbol step by step with photographs.
