According to a communication, made by Franz Cumont, the Museum of the Therms at Rome should have received in 1896 two new Mithrasmonuments, which should come from Narni.
White marble relief (H. 0.58 Br. 0.62), found near the house of the Fontana family in a Roman villa, situated on the northern slope of the mountain Ciminus, not far from the crossing with a byroad, leading to the Tiber.
Relief of peperino, fixed in a great height into a wall of the old farm "Le Capa- nacce", situated on the main road Le Capranicie-Vetralla, about 6 km from Vicus Matrini along the Via Cassia.
Besides these inscriptions Martelli (Antichita dei Sicoli II 1835, 162 No. 11) mentions an "Altra iscrizione scheggiata esiste in nostra casa insieme colla statua bipedale del Sole mancante di testa, braccia e piedi, rna di rara scultura anti- chissima" .
