This simple relief of Mithras killing the bull without his companions Cautes and Cautopates was found in the so-called Mithraeum of the Esquilino, Rome.
This inscription probably belonged to the fourth mithraeum of Poetovio and records the restoration of a Mithraic temple by the dux Aurelius Iustinianus.
