Biography
of Symphorus
- Symphorus was a syndexios of the Mithraeum IV of Aquincum.
- Active c. 2nd century in Aquincum, Pannonia inferior (Pannonia).
TNMP 155
Although the legal status of Symphorus is uncertain, it can be pointed out that he bears a Greco-Oriental sounding name, which is well attested among slaves and freedmen in Rome. It is therefore likely that he should be attached to one of these social categories.

Mi spiegate perché mettete dei volti attuali in un sito di archeologia mitra ?
Grazie. Francesca
