Jean Suttman’s study trip in Rome turns nightmarish when she discovers a murdered student in the Temple of Mithra and realizes someone is out to harm her.

Just discovered this very cool ensemble of experimental archaeology from Granada, Spain. Beautiful music and dance from the Hispanic Florentia. Enjoy!

europeana is getting bigger all the time, and already has got a great collection of mithraic monuments (not as many as the new mithraeum, but some good ones!). Have a look: https://www.europeana.eu/search?query=mithras

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

Summary of Mithraic philosophy on a drawing of an ornate temple.

It is possible to draw the organisation of a Mithraeum, and also his philosophical consequences. For example, the two columns were probably very different: the south column was 'human'. the winter column. Reincarnated souls appeared there, And further, pure and philosophical souls left through the gate of Capricorn. The northern column was summer time. Pure souls entered the world of the gods, and imperfect souls were rejected by the Moon and passed through the door of Cancer to be reincarnated (metempsychosis), after a six-month journey that became darker and darker.
