 Mithrasism was the religion followed by many Roman soldiers. Very sevret and little is known of it.

 What I recall is that it was a warrior religion. Mithra was a war god, so the practices were not charming. Excellent picture!

 Oops! When I googled it I found a different version of it. More than one. But it was a man's religion, male deities and almost 100% male membership, esp. soldiers.

 And, belatedly, this is a very good pic of the slaying of the bull. Hard to figure why that was such a major event.
