Mithras in Dacia with Csaba Szabó

Exploring religion, rituals, archaeological insights, and historical impact of the Cult of Mithras in the Danubian provinces.
 
 
20 Dec 2024
Csaba Szabó is a historian specializing in ancient history and religious studies, focusing on the Danubian provinces of the Roman Empire. Born in Szatmárnémeti, Romania, he studied history and archaeology at the University of Cluj before earning his Ph.D. at the University of Pécs in Hungary.

His research centers on the Roman cult of Mithras, the archaeology of religion during the Principate period, and the religious history of Dacia. Through his work, he explores how religion intersected with society in the Roman Empire, particularly in Eastern Europe.

Since launching his blog, ’Roman Religion,’ in 2012, Szabó has written thousands of entries and actively engages with a broad audience on social media platforms. His online presence fosters interest in ancient history, sparking discussions and making his expertise accessible beyond academia.

He has collaborated with The New Mithraeum on several occasions, contributing articles and more. His work bridges the gap between scholarly research and public understanding, offering a valuable scientific forum for both enthusiasts and professionals. We’ve had the pleasure of discussing the cult of Mithras in Hispania with Javier Alvar and in Gallia with Laurent Bricault, so now it’s Csaba’s turn to tell us more about Mithras in Dacia.
