Salve Ennio,
The CIMRM is 1283. Unfortunately, I don’t know the inventory number wherever it is exposed. Please, let me know if you find out.
Vale,

My pleasure, Levin. I can’t offer much advice on moving unless you’re heading to Europe, but perhaps some of our American members can guide you. Glad you found us too. Vale.
Salve Levin. A great place to start is https://www.mithraeum.eu/book/the-roman-cult-of-mithras_1990 by Manfred Clauss. Also, if you can find it, https://www.mithraeum.eu/news/the-mystery-of-mithras-exploring-the-heart-of-a-roman-cult exhibition catalogue is excellent, very up to date and full of articles by top scholars. For symbolism and ritual, Attilio Mastrocinque has a couple of excellent books. And if you read French and are interested in ancient philosophy (as I can tell from your book selection pic), https://www.mithraeum.eu/book/mithras-platonicus_1975 by Robert Turcan is well worth it. Curious to see which one catches your attention!
Strange! I am not in Rome, but I would expect it to be open every day, even more in the summer! Anyhow, here are their opening hours: https://turismoroma.it/es/node/43919
Update! Found a new post-classical monument, this one from the French Renaissance: https://www.mithraeum.eu/monument/771.
And from now on, all post-classical monuments will be available here: https://www.mithraeum.eu/quaere.php?tag=postclassical
Beautiful and unexpected piece, Pattie. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any more information about it besides the brief description on the British Museum page? CIMRM maybe?
Dear Joachim: To my knowledge, perhaps not the dative lionis, but the word leo is often found in the Mithraic context, as you may know. If this is of interest to you, I think the best way to find it in this database is to look for people who have been identified as leo because of an inscription. Here is the link: https://www.mithraeum.eu/persons.php?gra=4. Hope it helps!
Indeed, Stephen. The catalogue is highly recommendable for all audiences, academic, professional and the simply curious. By the way, some of its articles can be found on this very site thanks to the generous support of the publisher, the Musée Royal Mariemont.
Often neglected or considered too transgressive, the Priapeia, with its blend of Roman and Hellenistic influences, offers a complex view of ancient customs, especially homosexuality, combining literary tradition with sociological insight.
This volume collects the first results of the extensive and articulated research project dedicated to the Mithraeum of the Circus Maximus, the result of the Research Agreement stipulated in 2016 between the Capitoline Superintendence and the University of Trieste.
The present volume reconstructs the history of the mithraea of Güglingen. In addition, rich finds provide insight into hitherto unknown areas of the liturgical practice of the cult of Mithras.
The links between Egypt and Greece are strong and far-reaching, and although the zoomorphic gods frightened Herodotus, the fact remains that the two cultures continued to influence each other.
Tras reunir, traducir y editar, los textos incluidos en este dossier, confesamos que el conjunto nos ha impresionado particularmente.
Hasta ese momento, creíamos sabíamos solamente que el mithraismo era una forma de paganismo, caracterizado -como otras fórmulas religiosas del pasado- por la preem
