Mithras in Dacia with Csaba Szabó
Exploring religion, rituals, archaeological insights, and historical impact of the Cult of Mithras in the Danubian provinces.
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.

Thank you for this wonderful lecture. If I may, I would highly commend the following book: Eastern Cults in Moesia Inferior and Thracia: 5th Century Bc-4th Ad by Margarita Tacheva-Hitova, as a supplement. It is available on the internet archives.
