Tauroctony from Santa Maria Capua Vetere

The main fresco of the Mithraeum of Santa Maria Capua Vetere portrays Mithras slaughtering a white bull.
Thank you for sharing it and congratulations for your beautiful and interesting work.
I think it would be helpful to include visiting information... I’m under the impression that some of the Roman mithraea require prior registration. Getting such info from people who have been would seriously help.
It will indeed be helpful to have up-to-date information from anyone who has just visited a temple. However, since opening hours can change depending on demand, season, holidays, and other factors, I would also recommend always checking the official website or with operators before visiting.
By the way, Pattie, did you have a chance to visit any temples during your trip in Europe?
