The New Mithraeum

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

By the way, Pattie, did you have a chance to visit any temples during your trip in Europe?

It will indeed be helpful to have up-to-date information from anyone who has just visited a temple. However, since opening hours can change depending on demand, season, holidays, and other factors, I would also recommend always checking the official website or with operators before visiting.

Please be critical! As you can see, this article was written a long time ago and only quotes an article from https://www.balkantravellers.com, which was deleted shortly after. Any additional information you can provide, including Triandaphyllos’s article if it is publicly available, would be most welcome.

Dear Aleš, Thank you for your feedback. After reviewing the information, I can confirm that the detail regarding Bogdan Filov’s discovery came from a travel website that has since disappeared. As I this source can’t be further verified, I’ll be adding a disclaimer to clarify the nature of the information provided. Warm regards

Together with his son, with whom he shares his name, Kastos has dedicated several monuments in Rome to the glory of Zeus Helios Mithras.

Together with his father, Kastos dedicated several monuments in Rome to the glory of Zeus Helios Mithras.

This is the first known inscription that includes Phanes alongside Mithras found in a Mithraic context.

Thanks Pattie!

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!

The remains of the Mithraeum of Aosta, also known as the Mitreo di Augusta Praetoria, were discovered in 1953 in insula 59, in a commercial district of the ancient city.

Thank you Gabriel. Nice to read you

We’ve put together a new table of cross-references of monuments to Mithras in several databases, including Vermaseren’s Corpus, Cumont’s Textes, CIL, l’Année épigraphique, Clauss / Slaby and Heldeiberg’s epigraphic databases, and more.

You can find all the references to multiple databases on one page here: Table of references for mithraic artefacts.

We’re constantly adding new references to The New Mithraeum, so feel free to check it out to see what’s new!

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:

• Tauroctony of Monreale
  
• Tauroctony of Santo Domingo de Silos
  
• Tauroctony of Aula Gotica

For the health of this man, a small altar was dedicated to the god Invictus in the Emerita Augusta.

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
