In this collection of 19 papers (authors and titles appear below), more than 30 scholars refocus the discussion by concentrating primarily on the data from 10 mithraea in the UK, Europe and the Near East that have been excavated since 1990, but also by re-examining previously excavated mithraea at Ostia, Dura Europos and Caesarea. These papers continue the trend established by the landmark publication of the 2001 conference in Tienen, Belgium, by focusing on small finds (faunal and ceramic remains, specialised cult objects, jewellery, gems, statuettes and the like) and the wealth of information that these convey about cult practice. The volume is aimed at specialists and anyone with a keen interest in archaeological data, faunal remains, and other material finds. Some of the conclusions are tentative, since work is ongoing, and others are speculative, in the face of slender evidence. The contributors sometimes ask more questions than they answer, but they do so in a way that is thought-provoking, insightful, and indispensable for the future study of this sub-field.
