Inscription of Tarragona
TNMM 743 ↔ CIMRM 806
Two fragments of a small altar from Tarrago [sic].
[lnvi]cto Mithra[e] / ... (duo)vi[r] / ...cime / ...nn XV.
It was known from a drawing in an anonymous 16th-century manuscript. Another fragment appeared in 1800, but was thought to have been lost. Subsequently, a marble block was found that corresponds exactly to the left half of the manuscript drawing, on which the letters CTO can be read. This allows the partial reconstruction of the inscription as shown below. In addition, the manuscript indicates that there were two holes in the upper part for fixing the statue.
CIMRM II 806
García y Bellido in BAH CXXII, 1948, 300 No. 2 reads instead of (duo)vi[r]: (duo) VI[I] and is of the opinion that soldiers of the Legio VII dedicated it.
