Revisión del culto mitraico en la colonia Aelia Augusta Italica

Abstract

We propose in this paper the need to review a variety of testimonies found in Italica and since half of the twentieth century they were identified as evidence certifying the presence of a Mithraic community in this city. We propose a new focus on them, taking on count changes in theoretical knowledge of Mithraism and the new data on the presence of this religion in Hispania. We will see that these evidences must be interpreted from different theoretical key to propo-sals at first.
