This remarkable Greek marble relief of Mithras killing the bull was discovered in 1705 and remained in private collections until it was bought by the Louvre.
Really interested in ancient religions, now retired I can give some time to this.
I am a member of the Longthorpe Legion, a Living History group linked to our local museum that portrays the Romans in Britain, including a Temple to Mithras.
I think it would be helpful to include visiting information... I’m under the impression that some of the Roman mithraea require prior registration. Getting such info from people who have been would seriously help.

The most detailed publication on this monument seems to be Diamandis Triandaphyllos. „Nouveau relief rupestre de Mithra Tauroctone dans la région de Xanthi“, in: Pulpudeva. Semaines philippopolitaines de l’histoire et de la culture Thrace, (Supplementum 6), Sofia: St. Kliment Ohridski University Press 2008, pp. 159‒171. There is information about the "rediscovery" or rather reclassification of this monument (previously described as "the image of a warrior") in 1973, but no information about Bogdan Filov´s discovery. What is the source of this information?
I am an archaeologist from Macedonia. I have always been interested in Mithras. I am currently writing my MA thesis about the cult in my country.
Hello. We new zartosht doesn’t wrote the book of avesta and he and other zorastarians just edited it. So my topic is about homosexuality in Mithraism. We now homosexuality banned in avesta with very rough punishment in this world purgatory. But we have many high ranked characters in western mithraism(roman mithraism) they was homosexual or bisexual. So can you proove its banned or approved in mithraism?
