Ce 4e fascicule de Mithriaca concerne un très curieux monument exhumé au XVIe siècle sur le site d'un Mithraeum qu'on localise tout près de l'église S. Maria in Domnica, non loin de S. Stefano Rotondo où un autre spelaeum fut mis au jour en 1973.
Despite the current political landscape of the US, we can look to antiquity to see that the red cap was actually once a symbol of citizenship and welcome to the foreigner.
In this relief of Mithras as bull slayer, recorded in 1562 in the collection of A. Magarozzi, Cautes and Cautopates have been replaced by trees still bearing the torches.
What appears to be a representation of Mithras killing the bull appears in the 12th century frescoes of the Basilica dei Santi Quattro Coronati in Rome.
