Mithras in Baetica

Baetica occupied a prosperous and highly urbanised corner of Roman Hispania where Mithraic cults circulated through Mediterranean exchange networks.

Evidence from Baetica remains comparatively limited, yet it reflects the province’s dense urban landscape and strong maritime connections with the wider Roman world. The documented material helps situate Mithraic communities within the commercial and civic environments of southern Hispania.
