A new study finds that Mithraism adapted to local landscapes, challenging the idea of a uniform Roman mystery cult.
As it turns out, this is a new survey of a site first described by Sir Arthur Evans in 1883.
An article by Ian S. Wilson, from Harvard University, and Matthew McCarty, from the University of British Columbia, questions some of the mo
Here's an article on the site from the Journal of Roman Archaeology, 02 June 2026:
Situating a rock-born god: place, practice, and geologies of Mithras-worship at Močići (Croatia)
i recently saw a post on here talking about how when harrow arrives on the mithraeum, mercy doesn't know that the eggs she gave wake had died and that she had implanted herself instead, so when mercy confirms that harrow is not the bomb-baby, she's relieved partly because that would make harrow her own biological child.
which to me raises a very important question: do we know for sure that the eggs she gave wake were actually her eggs?
i've been assuming mercy sourced the eggs from one of the houses that make babies in incubators. obviously mercy has to be the one to collect john's specimen (ew), but i don't see why the eggs would need to be hers.
it seems likely that wake has to go through the actual pregnancy because mercy can't get pregnant. we've never heard about any of the lyctors getting pregnant despite the fact that they've been alive for thousands of years and canonically spent a lot of that time sucking and fucking. i've been assuming they can't get pregnant for the same reasons as the vampires from twilight can't (immortality, unchanging bodies, technically dead, etc). and i feel like if mercy could have avoided outsourcing the most important part of the plan to wake (a dubious ally at best) by having the baby herself, she would have.
i guess not being able to carry a pregnancy to term doesn't necessarily mean her eggs aren't viable, but i still don't see why it would make the most sense for mercy to extract her own eggs to make the baby bomb. maybe to involve the fewest number of people to keep it a secret from john? but it seems like it would be easy for her to just steal some eggs.
does anyone remember if it's in the text anywhere? all i remember is "THE EGGS YOU GAVE ME ALL DIED," and i feel like if the eggs had come from mercy then wake would have just said "your eggs."

Jonathan Baldock’s installation at London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE explores myth, folklore, and ancient rituals through vibrant sculptural works made from natural materials. Central to the exhibition is a monumental Mother Goddess figure, inspired by Roman artefacts and Baldock’s own early clay sculpture, now cast in bronze and adorned with gemstones. The installation highlights themes of connection, heritage, and the unseen influences of the past on the present.- London, Uk
Basilica di San Clemente al Laterano in Rome, Italy
Under the basilica that stems from the 12th century, there are two more layers that you are able to visit: a basilica from the 4th century and a mithraeum from the 2th century.
In my opinion the most interesting church Rome has to offer.
If Augustine smokes regularly, and they don’t have a way of growing plants… how many cigarettes/cigars/etc did they specifically save on the Mithraeum
Is there like a storeroom somewhere that’s just… nicotine and weed and whatnot?
On an unrelated note: John vapes. Mercymorn thinks the scents are ridiculous and that makes him love them even more
