The New Mithraeum

TNMM 824 ↔ CIMRM 43

Attention: This entry may not have been reviewed and could contain incorrect data.

The soffit or reveal of the arched niche had been decorated with white stars on a blue background. Near fig. 12, 7 were the remnants of two persons in Phrygian cap and wearing a cape held at the breast by a large brooch (Report, 102 and PI. XIII, 1, 2). In the Latter Mithraeum, however, they have been covered up by the twelve signs of the zodiac painted in red and white. ILN 1934 fig. 1; GBA 1935 fig. 5, 6; Report, 110. SYRIA 67 The signs of the zodiac are painted in a counter-clockwise direction. The series began at the top of the soffit with Aries (lost) and Taurus (lost); then followed the usual sequence through Virgo. The second set began at the bottom at the right. Fish lost.
