This building was found fortuitously in the early 1960s and takes its name from the discovery in its vicinity of some statues that must have come from a Mithraeum (a temple built to honour the god Mithras). The whole house was built around three collonaded courts with an interior garden and a central pool. The frescoes indicate a 1st century CE origin for the house.
