Le culte romain de Mithra. Entre réalités antiques et fantasmes contemporains ! Par Richard Veymiers, directeur du Domaine et Musée royal de Mariemont.
In this article, Chalupa examines the scant evidence that has been found for the presence of women in the Roman cult of Mithras.
Some scholars have speculated that the scrolls both figures hold in their hands represent Eastern doctrines brought to the Western world.
This sculpture of Mithras killing the bull may come from Rome, probably found in 1919.
We propose to revisit a passage by the prolific author Marteen Vermaseren that highlights correspondences today forgotten between the Roman Mithras and its Eastern counterparts.

Journée scientifique du 17 décembre 2021 au Musée royal de Mariemont, dans le cadre de l’exposition 'Le Mystère Mithra. Plongée au cœur d’un culte romain'.
On the occasion of the exhibition, the Royal Museum of Mariemont invites five experts from Europe to emulate the research on the cult of Mithras.
Two marble busts (H. 0.96), found at Formiae and obtained in 1902 by the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek at Copenhague (Inv. Nos 1905/6) from the Villa Borghese collection.
A low-relief of Mithras tauroctone was found in 1928 by the Comtesse de Robi- lant in a cellar, full of the debris of the Palazzo del Grillo behind the Forum of Augustus.
A marble head at Florence, Uffizi (MMM I 182 n. 6; Amelung, Fuhrer Florenz, 95 No. 151) with sorrowful expression, is probably a head of Mithras tauroctone (Cumont in RA 1947, 8f with fig. 6; Becatti, Mitrei Ostia, PI. XXXIII, 2).
A medal in the form of a Grecian cross, on which busts of a bearded man and of a woman with veiled head (according to Cumont they might be Sol and Luna).
We only mention the bronzes from Angleur, which are now kept in the Museum at Liege and of which Cumont has proved in full details (MMM II 427ff No. 316 with fig.), that they must have belonged to the decoration of a Mithras-sanctuary.
