Archaeology of Mithras in Aquincum. Sanctuaries and Materiality of a Roman Cult

Summary/Abstract: The cult of Roman Mithras in Pannonia Inferior, and particularly in the territorium of Aquincum (Budapest, Hungary), has left us a rich corpus of figurative and epigraphic monuments, as well as small finds. The archaeology of religion in Aquincum – one of the richest urban centres in votive monuments north of the Alps – shows the presence of six archaeologically attested Mithras sanctuaries (mithraea), which makes the city the third richest concentration of Mithraic sites after Rome and Ostia. This article will examine the material evidence, social aspects, and museological perspectives of the cult in Aquincum in the six archaeologically attested mithraea, including the most recently discovered mithraeum in 2023.
