Author: Franz Cumont
The main Mithraic religion originated in ancient Hinduism, moved into Persia, found enormous popularity in Europe, and was ultimately destroyed by Christianity. One particular expression, found in this book, originated in the Roman Empire. Before Christianity stamped it out, it had gained strength rapidly and was the main pagan religion of its time. This book puts Christianity and Mithraism side by side in the Roman Empire and reveals exactly how and why Christianity survived and the Mithraism did not. Few can rival Cumont’s knowledge in this area. Covers the principle characteristics of the god Mithra, the rituals, teachings, liturgy, art and more. Illustrated, with index.
