Stele with silver plaque housing from Mithraeum III, Ptuj

Marble stele from Mithraeum III at Ptuj, ancient Poetovio, tapering towards the top and bearing a square hollow with five nail-holes designed to hold a small silver plaque — the plaque was removed, perhaps taken by the Mithraists themselves.
