Mithras in Rhaetia

Raetia preserves Mithraic evidence connected to Alpine frontier systems and military mobility.

The Mithraic material documented in Raetia reflects the province’s strategic position between the upper Danube, the Alps and northern Italy. The evidence illustrates the circulation of Mithraic practices through military installations, frontier infrastructure and regional communication routes.
