Poorly preserved subterranean Mithraic sanctuary discovered beneath a medieval convent.

TNMM 2152 ↔ CIMRM 1038

In the Roman village outside of the Castellum Alteburg-Heftrich remnants of a Mithraeum came to light under the walls of the Middle-Age Convent.

As far as one could see it was cellar-like but it was not possible to determine the exact ground-plan (L. Jacobi, Alt. H., 4 and Pl. I fig. 3). In its neighbourhood is a well in brick-work.
