Mithraeum, discovered at Spoleto in 1878 on a plot called 'I Casini', in the neighbourhood of the Porta S. Gregorio.
The sanctuary (L. 21.10 Br. 3.90) is divided in a central aisle (Br. 1.46) and two side-benches (H. 0.77 Br. 1.22). These benches are cut in two (L. 10.30 and 5.83) by a corridor (Br.2.05) with its entrance on the right. To ascend the benches, there are small flights of stairs on either side. The podia come to an end at a distance of 2.92 meters from the back-wall.
