Attention: This entry may not have been reviewed and could contain incorrect data.Two small altars, walled in the corners of the benches, with a representation of a jug (Becatti, PI. VII). The Mithraeum described now bears the name of "Mitreo delle sette sfere". As most of the Ostian Mithraea, this sanctuary is not underground. Here the general rule had to be deviated from, because underground spelea in this port on the Tiber stood a great chance of being flooded during the winterseason. To this sanctuary may also belong the monuments Nos 245-249.
