Description: Located in region I x 3-4, this building’s main doorway is on the west side and opens to a courtyard. Opposite the courtyard is a sanctuary with a temple platform, although the temple itself was never completed and later the area was used as a Mithraeum, a meeting place for devotees of the god Mithras. A portico lines the other three sides, and off the northern portico is a long (14.3 m), undivided room used for meetings and banquets.
