On the occasion of the discovery of a Mithraeum in Cabra, Spain, we talk to Jaime Alvar, a leading figure in the field of Mithraism. With him, we examine the testimonies known to date and the peculiarities of the cult of Mithras in Hispania.
Yolanda’s multimedia dissertation focuses on the cognitive mechanisms that motivate Mithras worshippers. Her work includes a podcast entitled Conversations about Mithras.

The two altars found in the Mithraeum of Mundelsheim one of Sol and the other of Luna, are exposed in situ.
The Mithraeum was housed in a cave. The vault is almost dome-shaped and in front of the cave there is enough space for a possible adjacent temple.
The Mithraeum I in Stockstadt contained images of Mithras but also of Mercury, Hercules, Diana and Epona, among others.
