Mithras in Arabia

Arabia connected the Roman Near East to caravan routes, desert frontiers and the commercial networks of the southern Levant.

The evidence documented in Arabia illustrates the circulation of Mithraic cults through military installations, urban centres and long-distance trade routes extending across the eastern frontier of the Roman empire.
