The pater Artemidorus seems to be an Augustan freedman of the Claudians, of Eastern origin.

Emerita Augusta was founded in 25 BC by order of the Emperor Augustus to protect a pass and a bridge over the Guadiana River. The city became the capital of the province of Lusitania and one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire.

Hector erected an altar to Mithras in Emerita Augusta 'by means of a divine vision', something unusual in Hispania.
