The New Mithraeum

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, TNM

Salve Khaldi, and thank you for the correction. Indeed, only one legate is mentioned in this monument. Correction made. Vale

Thank you Pattie! Just updated the monument with the right CIMRM reference.

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.

Great shot! Thanks for sharing, Pattie. We’d need a reference though, not go our entire database ;)

Nice collection, Levin! Thanks for sharing. Alwats a pleasure peeking at the shelves of fellow explorers of the mysteries

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!

Salve Martin and welcome to The New Mithraeum! Feel free to share your website for anyone interested in your great project!

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

That’s a good excuse to open a discord server ;)

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?

Welcome to your grotto, Marcus!

Welcome Mertseger. We do too ✨

Welcome Veronica 💫

Welcome Hamed and thank you for your excellent group and posts. We *need* more!

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!

Excellent idea, Matthew. Count on us!

Excellent idea ;)

Many thanks for the information, John. The page has been updated.

Thank you for sharing it and congratulations for your beautiful and interesting work.

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.

You are right, Stephen. Thank you for noticing. We have updated the information on this article.

It was, Pattie. It no longer exists…

Many thanks, Ines. Both pages have been merged.

Thank you for noticing, Ron. The Syrian location mentioned before referred to the original Roman Province, I guess. Regards.

Indeed, Dionisia. Thanks for noticing. Well corrected.

Thank you for sharing @dominique.persoons It would be great if we can get it in a better definition.
