Over the last century or so, a great deal has been said about the god Mithras and his mysteries, which became known to the European world mainly through his Roman cultus during the Imperial Period.

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.

Visitors to new museum will uncover mystery cult of Mithras the bull slayer in multi-sensory experience.

This monument has been identified from ’Memorie di varie antichità trovate in diversi luoghi della città di Roma’, a book by Flaminio Vacca of 1594.
