However, according to current knowledge (at least at this point) there was no Mithra sanctuary in the Saalburg. The nearby spring and the water basin therefore had nothing to do with the Mithraic cult.

Although the existence of a sanctuary of the Persian god of light, who was very popular with soldiers throughout the empire, near a fort the size of Saalburg Castle is quite probable, it is not supported by any finds or findings at this site. While a Mithraeum and other cult sites can be postulated with high probability in the vicinity of Saalburg Castle, their location remains completely uncertain.
