Thinking of forming a weekly group for those in the Anglosphere(USA, Canada, UK, Australia and NZ) to have a webcam call, discuss all things related to Mithras and form friends sharing a niche interest:)

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.
