TNMM 1456 ↔ CIMRM 1011
A Mithraeum found in a field near Dormagen in 1821.
Dorow in Kunstblatt redigiert von Schorn II, Stuttgart 1821, 358 No. 90; Fiedler in JVA XXI, 1854, 45ff; Stark in JVA XLVI, 1868, 4ff; MMM II 386f No. 265.
It is not possible to give a complete description of this sanctuary as Dorow omitted to make a plan of it. We only know that a long underground room (L. 11.60 Br. 2.90) was found beneath a vaulted room. The walls still bear traces of red and green painting. The cult-relief was erected against the back-wall.
