TY - JOUR ID - 1823862 AU - Chalupa, Aleš PY - 2021 TI - The Cult of Mithras and Christianity PB - Musée Royal de Mariemont CY - Mariemont SN - 9782930469867 KW - Mithraism KW - Christianity KW - cultural borrowings KW - Christianisation KW - religious rivalry N2 - The interrelationship between Mithraism and Christianity presents an interesting problem for which a large number of possible scenarios have been proposed. The paper addresses 1) the question of the nature of the contacts and possible coincidences in the ritual activity of these two religions; 2) the question of the extent to which the demise of Mithraism can be regarded as the result of targeted religious violence on the part of Christianity. An analysis of the available sources leads to the conclusion that the similarities in the functioning of Mithraism and Christianity are most likely a product of similar demographics and position in Roman Empire society, and that religious violence by Christians contributed only partially to the demise of Mithraism.
