Tauroctony relief from Puteoli

This lost Mithraic relief, formerly kept near the church of the Santissima Annunziata in Naples, was probably a large tauroctony associated with the area of Puteoli or Pausilypon.

TNMM 890 ↔ CIMRM 176

Relief formerly near Sta. Annunziata’s at Naples; present owner unknown.

According to Carpaccio it only differs from the preceding monument “quod inscriptione caret”.

According to Mazocchi, Spicil. bibl., 1766, II, 86 (quoted by Cumont): “Extat Napoli apud Ioann. Carafam, Noiae ducem, ingens Mithrae anaglyphum”, with which probably the same monument is meant.
