The deputy commander was in senatorial rank. In the ornate building with an inner courtyard at the end of the 2nd century a Mithras sanctuary was built by altering earlier rooms. To the present it is the sole Mithraeum found inside of a legionary camp. On the northern podium stood the founding stone of the sanctuary, above it, deepened into the wall, the central cult picture, a relief respresenting the killing of the bull was placed. After the setting of the stones the scenes of the Mithras-legend were painted on the sanctuary wall. 103
