Description: The mystery of mithras. Exploring the heart of a roman cult. Mobility And Intercultural Dialogue For The Transmission Of Heritage From Roman Antiquity2020-2023
Musée Royal de Mariemont (BE)
MITHRA is a three-year cooperation project between three European museums: the Royal Museum of Mariemont (Belgium), the Museum of Saint-Raymond in Toulouse (France) and the Archaeological Museum of Frankfurt (Germany). It is funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
This project creates the first exhibition dedicated to Mithras, one of the most fascinating deities in Ancient Rome, a god of Persian origins who generated an immensely popular cult, as evidenced by more than 150 sanctuaries uncovered all over Europe, from Scotland to North Africa, from Syria to Spain.
