europeana is getting bigger all the time, and already has got a great collection of mithraic monuments (not as many as the new mithraeum, but some good ones!). Have a look: 668daec3e57f3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.europeana.eu/search?query=mithras

The New Mithraeum
It is indeed surprising to see Mithras represented in the Middle Ages, as we tend to assume that paganism was forgotten at an early date. Well, some representations of Mithras killing the bull in key locations in Europe prove the opposite. To what extent did medieval masons know about the cult of Mithras? Here are the best known examples: * https://www.mithraeum.eu/monument/764 * https://www.mithraeum.eu/monument/763 * https://www.mithraeum.eu/monument/762

here’s a wonderful article, full of meanings to explain the different gods. In the religion of Mithras, the journey of the soul seemed very important. So the sacred rite was based on the Zodiac, which described the different stations of the soul on the way to reincarnation, or resurrection. In this way, the slayer god of Taurus organized the circuit of souls.

Any clue why this "counts" as two different CIMRM numbers?
The New Mithraeum
Salve Pattie. I suspect they have been merged because there is not much information on them other than both being dedicated by Sextus Vervicius Eutyches. Vale!
