Fragment with inscription to Arimanius Casa di Diana
TNMM 482 ↔ CIMRM 221 & 222
Fragment of an marble architrave (H. 0.19 Br. 0.67) found in 1899 in the Via della Fontana.
The fragment has an inscription dedicated to Ahriman, to whom Lollianus Callinicus (et. No. 222) erected a statue.
CIMRM 222
[M(arco) L]olliano Callinico patre / [P]etronius Felix Marsus / signum Arimanium do(num) ded(it).
Marsus: from the country of the Marsi.
Arimanium: see index s.v. and MMM I. 139; Vermaseren, De Mithrasdienst, 16.
The image of the god Arimanius to which this piece makes reference has not yet been found.
The inscription is on an architrave that belonged to an aedicula, but we can only speculate about the original location. It does not seem to belong to the Mitreo del Caseggiato di Diana.
