First published in 1956, this seminal study, by the great Belgian
scholar Franz Cumont, remains the definitive coverage of a great
ideological struggle between the West and the Orient in the first
centuries of the Christian era. Mithraism, a mystery religion
originating in Persia, spread rapidly through the Roman Empire, and
achieved such strength that Europe almost became Mithraic. Dr.
Cumont, the world's' greatest authority on aspects of classical
religions, here discusses the origins of this colourful oriental
religion, and its association with the Roman army. Then utilizing
fragmentary monuments and texts, in one of the greatest feats of
scholarly detection, he reconstructs the mystery teachings and
secret doctrines, the hidden organization and cult of Mithra. This
volume includes 70 illustrations.
