TNMM 1730 ↔ CIMRM 1711
Altar (H. 0.41 Br. 0.19–0.15 D. 0.13), found "Im Burgfeld". Museum Carnuntinum.
CIL III 11148; MMM II No. 377; Vorbeck, No. 82; JOAI XXIX, 1935, (Beibl.) 305 No. 188.
L.H. 0.02.
S(oli) i(nvicto) M(ithrae) / L(ucius) Aelius / Leo / miles leg(ionis) / XIIII g(eminae) / v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens).
CIL wrongly interprets L(ucius) Acilius whereas MMM (wrongly quoting CIL XIII) supposes that Leo is a cognomen and probably does not indicate the Mithraic grade of lion. Second century.
