Tips

Clemens (RMC)

October 4, 2024

Mithraeum (Latin mithraeum, plural mithraeen) is the name given to the temples of the Mithras cult.

Mithraeums were usually built underground or carved into rock. A relatively small cult room was sufficient for the Mithras communities, which had only one to two dozen members. The largest known mithraeum had space for 80 believers. In contrast to Christianity, where larger churches were built in larger communities, in Mithraism the number, not the volume, was increased. At the height of the Mithras cult in the 3rd century, there were supposedly 800 mithraeums in Rome alone. However, since the individual mithraeums were usually not in use for long, this high number says nothing about the number of followers. To date, the remains of over 1000 mithraeums have been archaeologically proven throughout the entire Roman Empire.
