by T P Wiseman

It had its own myths, the stories that defined what the Romans were, and in due course it achieved mythic status itself.

Des Mystères de Mithra aux Mystères de Jésus
by Attilio Mastrocinque
The most important innovation of Mithraism was the cult of hyper-cosmic deities who ruled the cosmos but existed outside nature. One of them was depicted with a lions head, another was a perfect young man encircled by a serpent, and the third was Mithras himself. This volume demonstrates how the Mithraic mysteries increasingly became a support of the Roman emperors authority; how the old, republican gods thus became inferior gods; how the concept ...
