Mithraeum found in Angers (Loire, France)
Sorry, in French:
http://www.inrap.fr/archeologie-prev...a-a-Angers.htm with Google Translate: http://translate.google.com/translat...tm&sl=fr&tl=en http://www.lemonde.fr/planete/articl...7781_3244.html http://translate.google.com/translat...ml&sl=fr&tl=en Alas, it was found during the construction of downtown appartments and it most probably will be destroyed, as the remains are thin. This is the problem with all archeological structures found downtown: almost every French town is the continuation of a Roman villa, vicus, town, ... To make you dream: we say here that there is a buried Roman hoard every km2 ... Jérôme |

Thank you, Jérôme. This is truly a fascinating discovery! Yet another evidence of the titanic struggle for human mind between Christianity and Mithraism. Such a shame if it is destroyed..

A cult reserved to the military elit
Complementary article from Le Monde about Mithriacism, though you could look elsewhere to have the same information (like wikipedia I guess):
