Mithras in Armenia

Armenia occupied a frontier crossroads between the Roman world, Anatolia and the Iranian cultural sphere.

Evidence associated with Armenia reflects the circulation of religious practices across one of the principal frontier zones between Rome and the eastern kingdoms. The region formed part of the wider cultural and political landscape within which Mithraic traditions evolved and spread.
