Religions of Greece and Rome: Mithraism

  1. What were the origins of Mithraism? Explain its tenets. Why were Mithraea located where they were? Can we explain the iconography of the cult?
  2. What did Mithraism offer worshippers? How quickly did it become popular; were there problems?
  3. Should we classify Mithraism as an oriental or a military cult? Or neither?
