Note 930 — Chapter XII · THE WORSHIP OF MITHRAS

See Cumont, T. et M. II. p. 95, inscr. 15, p. 98, inscr. 23; p. 100 inscr. 40; p. 101, inscr. 41. The tomb of Vincentius in the Catacomb of Praetextatus at Rome would show an instance of the joint worship of Sabazius, the consort of the Great Mother, and of Mithras, if we could trust Garrucci’s restoration, for which see his Les Mystères du Syncrétisme Phrygien, Paris, 1854. It has been quoted in this sense by Hatch, H.L. p. 290; but Cumont, T. et M. II. pp. 173 and 413, argues against this construction. For the pictures themselves, see Maass, Orpheus, München, 1895, pp. 221, 222.
