GIMMELDINGEN
1313..
At Gimmeldingen in the Pfalz a Mithraeum was excavated in 1926. It is situated in the immediate neighbourhood of the ruins of a Gothic chapel in a steep slope between the Oberweg and the Loblocherstrasze. The finds are at Speyer, Historisches Museum der Pfalz. Im am grateful to Dr. Roller for his permission to take photographs of the monuments and for his information.
Sprater in Pfälzische Heimatkunde 22, 1926, 1ff.
Only a few remnants of the sanctuary have been preserved; the south side with the entrance was destroyed by former uusystematical excavations. On the north side a base (H. 0.65 Br. 2.40) was unearthed on which the cult-relief was erected. Before it stood an altar and some other objects must have been placed in the centre aisle. About the construction of the Mithraeum we only know that it had a wooden roof. The sanctuary has been destroyed by fire.
