1438,ENT_ZOR_MITHRA,received_as,ENT_SYN_MITHRAS,medium,"The Roman mystery cult deity Mithras is the reception of the Iranian/Zoroastrian Mithra (Avestan: Miθra, ""covenant/contract""). Both are solar-associated figures of light, truth, and the cosmic struggle against darkness. The Roman cult (1st–4th c. CE) shares iconographic elements (Mithra/Mithras slaying a bull; solar associations; military popularity) and the name is directly cognate. Scholarly debate persists on the degree of continuity: Cumont argued direct inheritance from Iranian religion; Ulansey (1989) and Merkelbach (1984) argued for substantial Roman innovation. Medium confidence: the name and some attributes are continuous; the degree of doctrinal transmission is disputed.",SRC_BOYCE_ZOROASTRIANS,reviewed,PER_LATE_ANTIQUE
