Cult of Mithras takes its Origin from Persian God, Mithra (God of Light), but it rose to fame as a Roman Mystery Religion in 1st Century.

Roman Army. as they expanded Rome to an Empire, took Mithras w/ them.

They built temples for him! In, England

By Hadrian's Wall, there's a foundation left of the temple (Mithraea) in Britain. This is prob where #ACValhalla will have the Cult of Mithras.

In fact,there are multiple Mithraeas in Rome,Ostia, Numidia, even LONDON.

These Mithreas were all in one theme & design

In Origin, Mithras was worshipped in a rock cave. So, all Mithraeas took the theme of a cave, windowless.

It was dim inside,

= source of Light, as you see in this pic from #ACValhalla

There was a central Isle w/ a raised podium to the altar, where Mithras stood.

The Altar of every Mithraea had "a relief, or free-standing" Mithras (God) slaying a Big Sacred Bull.(tertullian)

Mithras looks at Sol,Roman God in this pic. He is the ideal Young male to these Roman warriors, which is maybe why they became initiates & followed him

The Cult of Mithras had 7 grades of Initiation, linked possibly to planets, (Corax, Nymphus, Miles, Leo, Perses,Heliodromus, & the Big one, Pater).

Pater (father) is the Boss..

Thx to drawings in temples, we might have the process in which "Pater" initiated recruits

Here is the process in which "Pater" initiated recruits in the ceremony.

- A man came blindfolded, kneeled, hands behind back, opened eyes to secrets of Mithras, welcomed in by Pater. (Other drawings show him being restrained & dead

)

To my #ACValhalla theories!

#AssassinsCreedValhalla

#AssassinsCreed

Theories:

Now, the Pater in Mithraism=Boss! Pater translates to Father & Templars have Father of Understanding. Who is a Roman Ruler/Father of Understanding-> Julius Caesar

Roman Army expands to

, so does Order of Ancients

#AssassinsCreedValhalla

#AssassinsCreed

Theories (Continued):

Flavius & Julius Caesar were the big bads of #ACOrigins, it makes sense to have corrupt Roman soldiers who would expand the Order of Ancients ideology.

This new guy

might be new Pater of Understanding!
