The discovery of five altars points to a Mithraeum III between the Amphitheater and the “Krempelmühle”. According to Kuzsinszky there came to light “ein schön ornamentiertes, groszes Mosaik, dasz an zwei Seiten noch eine Mauereinfassung hatte”. Nagy in BpTört. is of the opinion that this mosaic belongs to the rich house in which the Mithraeum was built. No more data about this sanctuary are known. The altars are in Budapest, National Museum.
