Mithras in Macedonia

Macedonia formed a major crossroads between the Greek world, the Balkans and the communication routes of the eastern Roman empire.

The Mithraic material documented in Macedonia reflects the province’s strategic role within the urban and military networks linking the Aegean to the Danubian frontier. The evidence illustrates the movement of cults and populations through one of the principal corridors of the Roman Balkans.
