The name of this domus comes from the fact that some authors once associated one of its mosaics with the cult of Mithras, a connection that has since been dismissed.

All the mentionned pieces come from the old excavation at the close Cerro de San Albín. The correct origin is to be found at Jaime Alvar’s site https://humanidadesdigitales.uc3m.es/s/mitra/page/inicio
