The New Mithraeum Database

Slave and vilicus in the household of Tiberius Claudius Livianus, linked to the earliest known Mithraic tauroctony.

In this conversation with Lenni George, on the occasion of the release of her latest book ‘The Rites of Hekate: From the Dirt to the Divine,’ we explore that shifting presence: a goddess of thresholds, of illumination and obscurity, of descent and return…

This tauroctony may have come from Hermopolis and its style suggests a Thraco-Danubian origin.

Dedicated a stele in Nicopolis ad Istrum.

Freedman of the two Marcus and 'magister of the first year'.

Priest and astrologer of Milan.

Marius Victor, according to the inscription on the monument, erected this monument to Mithras ’when Philip and Titianus were consuls’.

This Mithras killing the bull belonged to the sculptor V. Pancetti before being exhibited in the Vatican Museums under Pius VI.

This monument was erected by a certain Publius Aelius Vocco, a solider of the Legio XXII Primigenia Pia Fidelis stationed in Mainz.
