A low-relief of Mithras tauroctone was found in 1928 by the Comtesse de Robi- lant in a cellar, full of the debris of the Palazzo del Grillo behind the Forum of Augustus. When we studied it, it had been walled into a wall of the palace-garden. It is a white marble slab (H. 0.70 Br. 0.50 D.0.06). The right part of a repre- sentation of Mithras tauroctone, of which only the foremost part of the bull's body has been preserved. Before the bull Cautes with upraised torch. In the upper corner the bust of Luna. Mediocre work. Franz Cumont pointed us at this relief.
