Mithras in Galatia

Galatia preserves Mithraic evidence shaped by central Anatolian routes and eastern provincial networks.

The Mithraic evidence documented in Galatia reflects the province’s role as a central Anatolian crossroads between western Asia Minor, Cappadocia and the eastern frontier. The material remains limited but helps trace the movement of Mithraic practices through inland routes, military circulation and provincial urban centres.
