Some places to visit

  • Mithraeum of Cirta

    An inscription mentioning a speleum decorated by Publilius Ceionius suggests the location of a mithraeum in Cirta, the capital of Numidia.

     
  • Mitreo di Capodimonte

    The Mithraeum of Visentium, near Capodimonte in Viterbo, was carved grotto-style into a tuff cliff overlooking the waters of Lake Bolsena, just a few dozen metres away.

     
  • 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.

     
  • Mitreo di Ponza

    This Mithraic shrine on the island of Ponza is renowned for its exceptional stucco zodiac and astral symbolism linked to Roman Mithaism.
