The Mysteries of Mithras in Caesarea: Exploring the Cult’s Rites and Remains

Friends of Â鶹ֱ²¥ presents the next webinar in our monthly series on March 11, at 7:00 pm EST, featuring Prof. Jane DeRose Evans and Dr. Alexandra Ratzlaff. These two experts will take you on a journey underneath the ruins of ancient Caesarea Maritima on the Mediterranean Sea coast of modern Israel. A bustling port city before and during the lifetime of Jesus, this site has provided a wealth of information for scholars studying Caesarea’s Roman era, when it was ruled by Herod the Great, king of Judaea (37 BCE – 4 BCE). When the late Prof. Robert J. Bull’s team arrived to dig in the sand dunes near this ancient harbor in 1974, they discovered a row of warehouses dating to the Roman period. After crawling through several of the structures to decide which one to excavate, they chose the northernmost one in the row. Inside the vault, which had been used in later periods to dispose of decapitated bodies, the excavation team discovered the remains of a Mithraeum, or a place of worship for the mystery cult of Mithras. Join Prof. Evans and Dr. Ratzlaff as they discuss what we know about how the initiates formed the Mithraeum, and what we can uncover about the cult’s secret rites from the frescos painted on the vault walls and the objects left behind following its abandonment. The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session.

She is currently a numismatist for the Harvard-Cornell Sardis Expeditions and The George Washington University’s Bir Madkhour Project. She leads the team to publish the results of the JECM excavations of the building on top of the warehouses.
