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.
