Six decorated marble columns from the Angera Mithraeum

Six small marble columns found together with No. 718 in the Mithraeum at Angera.Two of the columns have no ornaments other than flutes. On two others the shafts are modelled like the stems of palm-trees, with lion's and Gorgon's heads alternating on the upper ledge. On the shafts of the two last columns graceful coils have been made and the upper ledge shows a motif of two griffins on either side of an amphora, each motif relieved by a krater.
