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

Lanciani, Storia Scavi, III, 200 gives another interesting note about a second Mithraeum, discovered in 1869 near the previous sanctuary in Muti's gardens. This sanctuary is said to have been situated on the comer of the Via Nazionale and the Via Venezia. According to Lanciani it is a spelaeum "scavato nel tufo, con vestibolo (lungo 3.60, large 0.83) e cella con nicchie ed ara (larga 3.18, profonda 2.65). Questo sotterraneo sanctuario e certamente diviso da quello descritto da Vacca, considerando che nella predetta tavola B2 del Nolli il terreno Muti e diviso da quello Stati da una vigna intermedia, appartenente ai Ghislieri". We have not been able to ascertain, whether this sanctuary was really devoted to Mithras and we have no further information at hand.
