Villa del Mitreo de Cabra

The Villa del Mitreo or Casa del Mitra takes its name from the discovery of a Mithras Tauroctonus in the vicinity.

 
New excavations in the Villa del Mitra (Nov 22-February 23) have provided a room with benches and cooked bones. No doubt it is the mithraem where the taurochtony was located. The sculpture was found 10m away from the spelaeum.
 
 
Can't wait for more details
 
I live in Sarrebourg, where the famous mithraeum was found by the Germans in 1890. In the 3d century, the city was bigger than... today, with 5 massive towers .

Did Apuleius explain his very own initiation into the Mysteries of Mithras in The Golden Ass? Apuleius' The Golden Ass is one of the most famous and entertaining novels of antiquity. Among his adventures, Lucius is initiated into the mysteries of Isis. Some scholars claim that Apuleius used the Egyptian cult to conceal his own involvement in the secret cult of Mithras.
