Inscription of Aurelius Iustinianus from Ptuj

In Poetovio, in Pannonia Superior, at the beginning of the 4th century, the dux of Pannonia Prima et Noricum Ripense left us this inscription, in which he claims to have built a temple to Sol invictus Mithras. The temple has survived to the present day under the name of Mithraeum IV de Ptuj.
