Some places to visit

  • Niasar Cave

    The Niasar Cave, غار نیاسر, was a temple probably devoted to Iranian Mithras that dates back to the early Partian era.

     
  • Casa del Mitreo

    The name of this domus comes from the fact that some authors once associated one of its mosaics with the cult of Mithras, a connection that has since been dismissed.

     
  • Mithraeum of Regensburg

    The Mithraeum of Regensburg represents the earliest of the nine Mithraic sanctuaries so far documented in Bavaria, Germany.

     
  • Mithraeum VI of Aquincum

    A sixth temple dedicated to Mithras has been identified for the first time in the military sector of the ancient Roman city of Aquincum.
