[Untitled]

I suggested that we revert back to Revision as of 12:54, 26 February 2010.

Roger Pearse has removed the text: The location is also famous for a Mithraic inscription in the Mithraeum, which is thought to allude to Mithras "shedding... eternal blood" for the salvation of humanity. The Mysteries of Mithras, Payam Nabarz Ph.D, P.7-8, ISBN 159477027-1

Roger does not seem to like the author. He does not challenge the authenticity of the inscription.

Roger seems to remove Mitraism information which could somehow be linked to Christianity. He has removed BC reference from Mithraic Mysteries page 19:35, 19 January 2010 so people would not realize that as a pre-Christians event. This time he wrote about the blood inscription in Santa Prisca on his own blog and then removed it from Wikipedia.

I oppose a simple revert. If we want to mention the tendentious reconstruction, we should cite Vermaseren accurately and directly. And with an accurate translation: servasti does not mean the same thing as salvasti, and nos does not mean "humanity". Rwflammang (talk) 14:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Varun- Dont really know what is meant by the the line that states: These paintings were important to the understanding of mithraism, could you possible elaborate explain specifically what in these painting helped scholars understand the cult? --DumbArtStudent (talk) 01:21, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Whitney-If there are other examples of churches being built at the same location you could add it to the Mithraeum wiki page and than link back to santa prisca. (Wmwright (talk) 23:51, 29 November 2012 (UTC))

Sean - I think you could expand with some examples of the controversy over women's role in the Mithraic cult. They don't have to be more than a few sentences, but you could place an in-line citation for each so that curious readers are linked right to scholarly (I'm assuming) articles about the debate.

Veronica-I'd also suggest expanding on the Mithric paintings you mention. Images of these paintings would also be helpful. NaturallyAesthetic (talk) 16:53, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
