Attilio Mastrocinque explains the mysteries of Mithras in a new way, as a transformation of Mazdean elements into an ideological and religious reading of Augustus' story. The author shows that the character of Mithras played the role of Apollo in favoring Augustus' victory and the birth of the Roman Empire.

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.

The Mysteries of Mithra by Franz Valery Marie Cumont provides an in-depth analysis of the Mithraic religion and its subsequent decline mainly due to the ascendance of Christianity. Cumont borrows heavily from some of his previous work on the same topic by summarising detailed notes and references into its present form. Mithraic religion evolved through Asiatic and Iranian roots which is highlighted in the first section of this work dealing with the origins of the religion. The author does not provide any biased opinions on the question of faith, instead postulating theories and observations based on historical facts. One of the underlying themes in The Mysteries of Mithra is the parallels Cumont is able to draw between modern day Christianity and the Mithraic religion. The conflict between this mysterious religion and Christianity is ensconced in the lack of acceptance and assimilation of two different theological strands. Cumont is quick to appreciate the fact that reliable sources on Mithraic imagery are few and far between and hence some of its analysis is pivoted on probability. Spread across seven chapters, The Mysteries of Mithra also contains an index for quick reference and various illustrations depicting the Mithraic religious symbolisms through its evolution. The section detailing Doctrines of Mithraic Mysteries is particularly interesting as it opens up a treasure trove of lesser known facts while highlighting the subtle yet assertive similarities between Mithraism and Christianity. This title is as informative and enlightening for the casual enthusiast as it would be for scholars and students of religion.

Since its publication in Germany, Manfred Clauss's introduction to the Roman Mithras cult has become widely accepted as the most reliable, as well as the most readable, account of its elusive and fascinating subject. For the English edition the author has revised the work to take account of recent research and new archaeological discoveries. The mystery cult of Mithras first became evident in Rome towards the end of the first century AD. During the next two centuries, carried by its soldier and merchant devotees, it spread to the frontier of the western empire from Britain to Bosnia. Perhaps because of odd similarities between the cult and their own religion the early Christians energetically suppressed it, frequently constructing churches over the caves (Mithraea) in which its rituals took place. By the end of the fourth century the cult was extinct.Professor Clauss draws on the archaeological evidence from over 400 temples and their contents including over a thousand representations of ritual in sculpure and painting to seek an understanding of the nature and purpose of the cult, and what its mysteries and secret rites of initiation and sacrifice meant to its devotees. In doing so he introduces the reader to the nature of the polytheistic societies of the Roman Empire, in which relations and distinctions between gods and mortals now seem strangely close and blurred. He also considers the connections of Mithraicism with astrology, and examines how far it can be seen as a direct descendant of the ancient cult of Mitra, the Persian god of contract, cattle and light. The book combines imaginative insight with coherent argument. It is well-structured, accessibly written and extensively illustrated. Richard Gordon, the translator and himself a distinguished scholar of the subject, has provided a bibliography of further reading for anglophone readers.
