Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book gathers and analyzes ancient sources regarding the cult of Mithra, the Persian god of the sun, contracts, and male friendships, whose worship spread throughout the Roman Empire. The author traces Mithraâs origins in Zoroastrianism and explores how his cult evolved as it was adopted by different cultures. The book examines the mysteries associated with Mithra, which involved ritual meals, shared secrets, and physical ordeals. It investigates the cult's iconography, with depictions of Mithra killing a bull symbolizing his victory over chaos. Exploring the popularity of Mithraism among soldiers, imperial officials, and even emperors, the book sheds light on its appeal in a time of social and religious change. It also discusses the reasons for Mithra's eventual decline, as Christianity gained prominence in the Roman world. This book contributes to our understanding of the religious landscape of the ancient world and the complex interaction of beliefs and practices that shaped the spiritual lives of people in the Roman Empire.
