A study of the religious system of Mithraism, one of the 'mystery cults' popular in the Roman Empire contemporary with early Christianity.

The Religion of Zarathushtra is at the same time one of the simplest and yet most profound indroductions to Zoroastrianism, the once glorious but now nearly forgotten religion of the Magi.

From the conventional to the controversial, the broad scope of this book and its valuable contribution to Sufi, Mithraic, and Zoro-astrian studies gets to the very heart of the matter.

No detailed description available for "The Roman Cult of Mithras".

The origin of this dossier of studies is a symposium, held in April 1984 by the Institute for the History of Religions at the University of Copenhagen, on the occasion of Professor Ugo Bianchi's visit.
