A mithraeum found at Stix-Neusiedl in the summer of 1816.
We do not know anything about the construction of the sanctuary, of which the following monuments are now kept in Vienna (Wien), Kunsthistorisches Museum. I am very grateful to Dr. Rudolf Noll, Director of the Section of Antiquities, for his warm interest in this work. During many years he supplied me with information about newly discovered monuments in his country, and he gave me all possible facilities to verify them and to publish new photographs.
