Die Ähnlichkeit des römischen Mithraskultes mit dem Christentum wurde schon in der Antike erkannt und bot Kirchenvätern Anlass, die Bräuche der Mithrasmysten als unverschämtes Nachäffen zu verurteilen. Jüngere Recherchen belegen aber das Gegenteil: Der Mithraskult ist älter.
Die reiche Bilderwelt des römischen Kults ist Detail für Detail Ausdruck alter Schöpfungsmythen.
Das zeigt, dass der römische Kult zwar astrologisch überformt war, im Kern aber uralte, bis ins 2. Jahrtausend zurückreichende indo-iranische Traditionen fortführte. In ihrem Zentrum steht das symbolische Opfer eines Gottessohnes und seine Wiederauferstehung in die Welt des Vaters.
