This study of the presence and nature of the cult of Mithras in
Roman Britain is based on literary, epigraphic and architectural
evidence. Rossi focuses in particular on archaeological evidence
from military forts such as Vindolanda, Housesteads and Carnarvon
and from London, exploring how the relationship between Mithraism
and the military may account for many of the features of its cult
in Britain. She concludes that the situation in Britain was
different to many other provinces, especially in architectural
terms, and that native religious elements limited the expansion of
Mithraism, a cult which eventually lost out to Christianity.
Includes a large, detailed catalogue of finds. Italian text.
