Yannick Schmidt
Consider that there is a two-sided cult relief found at Mithraeum I of Stockstadt (CIMRM 1162) simal to this in Dieburg (CIMRM 1247) Lit. Ingeborg Huld-Zetsche/ Klaus Jürgen Rau (2001), Das doppelseitige Kultbild aus dem Mithräum I von Stockstadt, Saalburg Jahrbuch 51, 13-36.
John Brant
Stockstadt mithraeum is not located at Saalsburg Kastell. Stockstadt is at least 30 Kilometers from Saalburg to the southeast. Stockstadt had its own fort (kastell) on the Limes. I wrote an article on Stockstadt fot Our Common Sun about ten years ago. I have been to Stockstadt and there is an excellent museum there.
The New Mithraeum

Joachim Neumaier
Dear Collegue: May I consult You in order to a potsherd on which the word 'leonis' has been graved. It was found without archaeological context in the area of the civilian settlement nearby the fort of Walldürn on the Upper German Limes. I would like to put it into relationship with the 'leo' grade, although definitively this cannot be verified. Could You be so kind to tell me if there are similar graffii on potsherds anywhere in the Roman World. Thank You very much. Sincerely Yours Joachim Neumaier
The New Mithraeum
Dear Joachim: To my knowledge, perhaps not the dative lionis, but the word leo is often found in the Mithraic context, as you may know. If this is of interest to you, I think the best way to find it in this database is to look for people who have been identified as leo because of an inscription. Here is the link: https://www.mithraeum.eu/persons.php?gra=4. Hope it helps!
