TNMM 1407 ↔ CIMRM 112

Caputo, o.c., 207 mentions a white marble relief, found in the Forum Vetus (H. 0.53 Br. 0.61 D. 0.10). Giacomo Caputo was so kind to send us the following informations: "La figura in alto rilievo poggia su zocollo, che fa parte della lastra. Questa reca alcuni intacchi per aggrapparla. E consorella di altre. Mithra e nel suo abito particolare ed ha la gamba sinistra di carico, mentre la destra e flessa. Porta una lancia nella mano sinistra alzata. II braccio destro e steso, rna, essendo incompletamente conservato, non si possiede l’attributo od oggetto portato in mano. Lo zoccolo ha l’altezza di 0.105.

Le lastre dovevano ornare qualche grande base 0 podio. Le divinita rappresentate nelle altre sono: Cibele, Diana, una Tyche, Minerva."
