The Mithraeum at Dura Europos was identified by the same manner as the synagogue and house-church; it also had a number of frescoes as well as two stone panels in the central cult niche both depicting the central scene of the Tauroctony. The majority of the frescoes from the Mithraeum are now held by Yale University.
