The site of the Mithraeum of the Circus Maximus in Rome is an archaeological site of great interest, though little known.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The location is central to the urban development of both the ancient city and contemporary Rome. However, the fact that it is located underground and the spaces are all in all cramped, makes restricted access a necessity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the immensity of Rome’s archaeological offerings (there are more than twenty mithraea, not all of which can be visited) the Mithraeum of the Circus Maximus presents some uniqueness that makes it of particular impact to the visitor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two features just listed (forcibly restricted access and uniqueness from similar sites) make for a truly valuable experience when visiting the Mithraeum of the Circus Maximus. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1718279032975{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;border-color: #efefef !important;}” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_css_id=”666adb6dd579e” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NjZhZGI2ZGQ1NzllIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” row_reverse_mobile=”1″ row_reverse_tablet=”1″ woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ woodmart_sticky_column=”false” offset=”vc_col-xs-12″ wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_css_id=”666adf2299755″ responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NjZhZGYyMjk5NzU1Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnsicGFkZGluZy10b3AiOiI1JSIsInBhZGRpbmctcmlnaHQiOiI1JSIsInBhZGRpbmctYm90dG9tIjoiMCUiLCJwYWRkaW5nLWxlZnQiOiI1JSJ9fX0=” parallax_scroll=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” css=”.vc_custom_1718279977770{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n\t\t

Mithraea (sing. Mithraeum) were a place of worship, where the adepts of the Mithraic religion or cult of Mithras, celebrated their rites. The cult of Mithras was an initiatory mystery cult that spread throughout the Mediterranean from the 1st century B.C.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the secrecy with which the religion was practiced, so much so that there were no literary texts of any kind, not even as a fundamental canon, the information we have about the type of rituals and what the principles of Mithraism were are very fragmentary, and often the subject of interpretation rather than real knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n

The origin of the cult is supposed to be in ancient Persia, in the 6th century. B. C., and it is connected in some way to astronomical observations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1718116752811{padding-top: 0px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12″ wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_css_id=”6668618a51a1f” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NjY4NjE4YTUxYTFmIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” parallax_scroll=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_sticky_column=”false” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no”]\t\t
