Abstract
A roman altar with an inscription dedicated to Mithras was found in the area of Teutoburgium 42 years ago. Although it is part of Vukovar City Museum’s permanent display (inv. no AZ-550), until now it had never been published in the scholarly literature. In this paper the inscription will be reconstructed, analysed and interpreted for the first time. Additionally, the other, published Mithraic altar from Teutoburgium (CIMRM II, 1635) will be reconsidered. It will be concluded that both of them belonged to the same time period and that they ornated one or two unlocated temples.

A roman altar with an inscription dedicated to Mithras was found in the area of Teutoburgium 42 years ago
Dedicant’s early Imperial nomen gentile suggests that his family received their Roman citizenship much earlier than the altar was erected. Another limestone altar dedicated to Mithras was found in the modern village of Dalj (Croatia) in 1910, the site where the Roman fort of Teutoburgium has been established (Fig. 2)
