The New Mithraeum Database

This lost monument bears an inscription to Cautes by a certain Tiberius Claudius Artemidorus.

Excavations in 1979 on the remains of the church of Notre-Dame d'Avigonet in Mandelieu, Alpes-Maritimes, brought to light a small mithraeum.

Lors de la construction de l’église Saint-Paul en 1911, un mithraeum a été mis au jour à Königshoffen, vicus gallo-romain situé aux abords du camp légionnaire de Strasbourg-Argentorate.

The relief of naked Roman soldier, wearing a mantle and a Phrygian cap, has been related to the Mithras' cult.

In 1938 this Mithraeum was found 3.45 mtrs under the Basilica of S. Lorenzo in Damaso, in a cellar near the Sacrament's Chapel.

This relief of Mithras slaying the bull was erected in Piazza del Campidoglio, moved to Villa Borghese and is now in the Louvre Museum.

It is well known that Mithras was born from a rock. However, less has been written about the father of the solar god, and especially about how he conceived him.

Only a small part of the Neuenheim Mithraeum has been excavated.

This tabula marmorea was consecrated by a certain slave Vitorinus in Tibur, nowadays Tivoli, near Rome.

Antiochus I of Commagene shakes Mithras hands in this relief from the Nemrut Dagi temple.

This intaglio depicting Mithras killing the bull is preserved at the Bibliothèque national de France.
