The vault of the Mithraeum in S. Capua Vetere is decorated with stars that have holes in their centers, which once held colorful glass decorations.

The votive fresco from the Mithraeum Barberini displays several scenes from Mithras’s myth.

The Mithraeum of Santa Maria Capua Vetere includes a marble relief depicting a child Eros guiding Psyche through the dark.

This lion-headed marble was found on the ruins of the Alban Villa of Domitianus.

This marble relief was found in a Mithraeum in Ptuj.

The Mithraeum of Szony has the form of a grotto and the entrance is on the west side.

Szony's bronze plate shows Mithra slaying the bull and the seven planets with attributes at the bottom of the composition.

In this fresco from Dura Europas, Mithras hunts accompanied by the lion and the serpent.

The marble shows Mithras slaying the bull, on one side, and Sol and Mithras feasting on a bull skin, on the other.

Sol watches Mithras as he gazes Mithras gazes up to heaven while sharing the sacred meal.

The second statue of Mithras rock-birth was found in the Mitreo di Santo Stefano Rotondo shows a childish Mitras emerging from the rock.

The underground cave which served as temple was cut into the conglomerate rock of the area, and a flight of eight steps of stone slabs led to it.

In Aquincum petrogenia, Mithras holds the usual dagger and torch as he emerges from the rock.

The 'Mithraic cave' in the Gradische/Gradišče massif near St. Egidio contained vessels decorated with snakes and the remains of chicken bones and other animals that were consumed during Mithraic ceremonies.

Upon first examination, archaeologists interpreted the inscription on the cult vessel from Gradishje as referencing Mithras, though it has since been re-evaluated.

This temple of Mithras on the north side of the Capitoline Hill in Rome no longer exists.

Several elements, such as the snake, scorpion or dog, are missing from this tauroctony relief of Cluj.

This plaque was found in Mithraeum I at Stockstadt broken into pieces inserted between the blocks of the socle of the cult relief, in the manner of a votive deposit.
