The barrack blocks of the Castra are long and thin and run north-south. Each is divided into two long rooms. Ca. 180AD, the north end of the western room of one of them was turned into a Mithraeum. Some time later, probably in the late 3rd century AD, judging from the monuments, the Mithraeum was widened by absorbing the corresponding part of the eastern room as well.
