Monumentum
Cone-shaped stone from the Spoleto Mithraeum
A cone-shaped piece of stone with a square hole found to the left of the altar in the Mithraeum at Spoleto, unlikely to have supported a representation of Mithras's rock-birth despite earlier suggestions, given that the stone tapers slightly.

TNMM 1167 ↔ CIMRM 675
Cone-shaped piece of stone with a square hole at two-thirds of its height. Found left of the preceding No. in the Spoleto Mithraeum. The stone tapers slightly, making it unlikely that it supported a representation of Mithras's rock-birth, as was supposed by Gori.
