- Abstract
The re-examination of two small twin statue bases CIL, XIV 58 and 59, respectively dedicated to Cautes and Cautopates, found during the excavation of the Mithraeum of the so-called Imperial Palace in Ostia in the nineteenth century, (now in the collection of the Vatican Museum), has determined that the text on the front of the bases was engraved on a previous erasure. This discovery has raised new questions concerning the chronology of the bases and of the Mithraeum complex.
