Mithras in Chersonesus

Chersonesus occupied a northern Black Sea position where Greek, Roman and frontier cultures intersected at the edges of the Mithraic world.

The material documented in Chersonesus contributes to understanding the circulation of religious practices across the Black Sea and the northern frontier regions connected to the Bosporan world. Although comparatively limited, the evidence illustrates long-distance cultural and commercial interactions beyond the central Roman provinces.
