I am a volunteer guide at Caesarea Maritima. The Mithraeum is visible, albeit without the altar. It is situated just pasrt the northern end of the hippodrome, where there are three warehouses from the Roman/Herodian period. It is the left hand one and marked the a sign board. It is not on my "route" but if anybody wants to know about it, I mention it, and if I have time take them to it.

Owner of the Facebook group: Roman Cult of Mithras: His Mysteries, Mithraea and Worship. Owner of the blog: Meals with Mithras

VERY into the subject.

 
what exactly does it mean to be an "owner of a facebook group".. I set up a facebook group on philosophy and peace 15 years ago and have made thousands of valuable posts . two days it was hacked, and the name changed.. and I havent got a clue how to reassert my rights to ownership? or get it back ? just saying..
 
So... you *were* an owner, like me, prior to being hacked. Why don’t you start another group? Don’t let the hackers win if you love what you do. And now I will go download/backup my group again, to be on the safe side. Cheers.

Mithraism As Proud Boy Prototype: Underground Clubs of the Syndexioi and Pueri Superbi

Tracing the links between the cult of Mithras and the Proud Boys’ quest for identity, power, and belonging. How ancient rituals and brotherhood ideals resurface in radical modern movements.

Respectfully brother I agree with you, although we may disagree on what that phrase refers to.
 
St John
I find this is a convoluted concept in order to lable people and their faiths and twist according to the nature of the occult gods. Let me explicitly clear, Jesus was crucified by Roman’s and St Micheal was appointed the Prince and Protector of his Church because he prostrated Satan in the Celestial battle.
 
My point is not to disrespect your faith but to suggest that both the archangel and the deity have a similar function as patrons of soldiers.
