DIonsia Xanthippos
In our description, isn't the word "cloak" in the last sentence a typo for "globe"?
 
Indeed, Dionisia. Thanks for noticing, already corrected.

Mithraeum of Stockstadt I

The Mithraeum I in Stockstadt contained images of Mithras but also of Mercury, Hercules, Diana and Epona, among others.

 
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.
 
Many thanks for the information, John. The page has been updated.

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
