Mithras in Lycia et Pamphylia

Lycia and Pamphylia preserve Mithraic evidence linked to southern Anatolian maritime and urban networks.

The Mithraic material documented in Lycia and Pamphylia reflects the province’s integration within the coastal routes of the eastern Mediterranean. The evidence illustrates the movement of Mithraic practices through ports, urban centres and regional exchanges connecting southern Anatolia to the wider Roman world.
