Laurent Bricault révolutionne les études mithriaques avec l’exposition Le Mystère Mithra. Rencontre à Toulouse avec ce professeur pour une plongée fascinante dans les dernières découvertes sur ce culte invincible.

Peter Mark Adams: ‘The initiation was a frightening experience that caused some people to panic as a flood of otherworldly entities swept through the ritual space.’

Ernest Renan suggested that without the rise of Christianity, we might all have embraced the cult of Mithras. Nevertheless, it has had a lasting influence on secret societies, religious movements and popular culture.

Laurent Bricault has revolutionised Mithraic studies with the exhibition The Mystery of Mithras. Meet this professor in Toulouse for a fascinating look at the latest discoveries and what lies ahead.

A place of worship for the Roman god of light Mithras was discovered during archaeological excavations in Trier. This includes a larger relief.

Three European museums celebrate Mithras with a continental exhibition featuring more than 200 works of art from Roman times to the present day.

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.

Twelve centuries separate the decline of Roman Mithraism from the dawn of Freemasonry. Twelve centuries during which the mysteries of Mithras have remained more secret than ever.

The Temple of Mithras, inside an ancient military settlement, is situated on the eastern border of the Roman Empire.

Dedicated two altars to Cautes and Cautopates in Saalburg.
