Group of unpublished marble reliefs found in 1906 at Cinçsor on the right bank of the river Alt, Dacia, probably associated with a Mithraic sanctuary.

TNMM 1882 ↔ CIMRM 2012

Dr. Nikolai Lupu was so kind as to draw my attention to various unpublished marble reliefs (Nos. 2013–2017) which in 1906 came to light in the grounds of Michael Ludwig at Schlekenried (Burgstadt) or Cinçsor (Klein Schenk) on the r. bank of the river Alt (dep. Făgăraș) where the Cohors II Fl. Bessorum had a castrum. Here certainly was a Mithraeum, which has not yet been excavated. K. Horedt in Mitteilungen aus dem Baron Brukenthalischen Museum IX–X, 1944, 110 n. 73, refers to the fragments Nos. 2013–2014.
