Altar of Varia Severa from Milan

TNMM 1187 ↔ CIMRM 705

Altar found at Milan (ancient Mediolanum).

D(eo) i[(nvicto)] M(ithrae) / Varia / Q(uinti) f(ilia) / Severa / v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito).

Because the altar was erected by a woman, Cumont suggests it may be dedicated to the Dis Manibus rather than to Mithras.

CIMRM II 705

T. Nagy in AErt 85, 1958, 111 suggests D(is) M(agnis) cf. Nos. 514–515.

The inscription does not seem to be Mithraic.
