Note 784 — Chapter XII · THE WORSHIP OF MITHRAS
Reading edition
Gibbon, op. cit. I. p. 382. Cf. Cumont, Religions Orientales, p. 171. Lactantius, de Mort. Persecutor. c. XXI., says that this was the conscious aim of Galerius. Although his authority in such a matter is suspect, there can be little doubt of the fact.
