Mithras in Africa Proconsularis

Africa Proconsularis formed one of the principal urban and administrative centres of Roman North Africa where Mithraic cults circulated through prosperous civic networks.

The Mithraic material documented in Africa Proconsularis reflects the province’s exceptional urban development and integration within Mediterranean trade and imperial administration. Cities, ports and regional mobility contributed to the spread of cults across Roman North Africa.
