The Mysteries of Mithra is a book by G. R. S. Mead that explores the ancient religion of Mithraism. The book delves into the history, mythology, and symbolism of the cult of Mithras, which was popular in the Roman Empire from the 1st to the 4th century CE. Mead examines the various aspects of Mithraism, including its rituals, beliefs, and practices, as well as its influence on other religions and cultures. He also discusses the possible origins of Mithraism and its relationship to other ancient religions, such as Zoroastrianism and Christianity. The book is a comprehensive study of Mithraism and provides valuable insights into this fascinating and enigmatic religion.Contents: Preamble; Origins and Development; diffusion in the Roman Empire; From the Texts; From the Monuments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
