Fragment of a marble relief (H. 0.24 Br. 0.20 D. 0.11), found at Ratiaria. Windin, Museum.
Danoff in Germania 1937, 173.
Only the lower part of Mithras' body with the r. leg, the hindmost part of the bull are preserved. Under the bull the serpent (tail lost).
There probably were some more scenes in an arch, because a head in Phrygian cap (Mithras' taurophorus?) in an arched border is visible.
