Mithraism

     It is the third day of December, only twenty-two days remain till the
celebration of Mithra begins (Cunningham, 197).  Myself and a few of my army
comrades  have big plans for this upcoming occasion, it is just a shame though
that some of our fellow country men, and our own wives even, are trying to spoil
our Mithristic festivities.
     It seems the beliefs of Mithra are becoming quite unpopular in Rome.
Only a small portion of my fellow soldiers still belong to the brotherhood, and
the soldiers are the only ones who follow the ways of Mithra.  Most of the Roman

to raise our son.  Before my church was torn down there was little to fuss over,
now all she does is complain.  She says that it is to far of a trip for him to
journey with me every week, and that he should go with her to the Christian
church.  She also protests that our ways are to barbaric, and he should not take
