Note on the Mithraeum at Sentinum and its inscriptions

A Mithraeum certainly existed at Sentinum, evidenced by a marble group, three inscriptions, and a mosaic with Mithraic imagery first recorded by Ramelli. The mosaic was later determined to have been discovered on the grounds of the Countess of Leuchtenberg, who gave it as a present to her father, King Louis of Bavaria, in 1826–1827.The title Sol invictus, common to both Serapis and Mithras, was acknowledged to effect an identification, as confirmed in 1912 by an inscription from the Therms of Caracalla in Rome.
