Interpreting the Ponza Zodiac

The New Mithraeum
Roger Beck revisits the zodiac circle of the Mithraeum on the island of Ponza, a composition unique within the Mithraic corpus. His reading places the monument in relation to cosmology, ritual space, and Mithraic doctrine.

The Father of Mithras

Gabriel Simeoni
It is well known that Mithras was born from a rock. However, less has been written about the father of the solar god, and especially about how he conceived him.

DIonsia Xanthippos
In our description, isn't the word "cloak" in the last sentence a typo for "globe"?
The New Mithraeum
Indeed, Dionisia. Thanks for noticing. Well corrected.

Dave Fingrut
Tracing the links between the cult of Mithras and the Proud Boys’ quest for identity, power, and belonging. How ancient rituals and brotherhood ideals resurface in radical modern movements.

Trump derangement syndrome is something else.
Dave Fingrut
Respectfully brother I agree with you, although we may disagree on what that phrase refers to.
St John
I find this is a convoluted concept in order to lable people and their faiths and twist according to the nature of the occult gods.
Let me explicitly clear, Jesus was crucified by Roman’s and St Micheal was appointed the Prince and Protector of his Church because he prostrated Satan in the Celestial battle.
Dave Fingrut
My point is not to disrespect your faith but to suggest that both the archangel and the deity have a similar function as patrons of soldiers.
sticky bandit
Total insanity. Very entertaining.
Dave Fingrut
Glad it wasn’t routine & boring.

Casa del Mitreo

The New Mithraeum
The name of this domus comes from the fact that some authors once associated one of its mosaics with the cult of Mithras, a connection that has since been dismissed.
