Some are of Roman origin; most are of Germanic type. The fort was attacked around the middle of the 3rd century AD. These finds highlight the intense threat to Roman territory in what is now south-western Germany.

Two perforated altar reliefs from the Mithraeum at Mundelsheim.Two perforated altar reliefs from the Mithraeum at Mundelsheim. One depicts Sol, the sun god, with the radiant. The other shows Luna, the goddess of the moon, with the crescent.

Dating 2nd/3rd cantury AD.
