Limestone altar inscribed on all four sides with lists of ministers (ministri) connected to the Tritones collegium. The inscriptions are dated by consular formulas between the reigns of Diocletian and Constantine and record numerous dedicants and officials.
Although sometimes discussed in relation to Mithraic contexts, the inscription itself does not explicitly mention Mithras.
