“Effetto notte”. Problemi e sistemi di illuminazione nel mitraismo tardoantico
A particular problem related to Mithraic religion concerns the lighting systems. In the crepuscular and night rituality the artificial light - obtained through chandeliers and oil lamps - often plays a decisive role. The mystical atmosphere was staged in special ways, also with the natural light, that allowed to obtain particular effects in certain moments of the day: the arrangement of the doors, windows and openings was intended to emphasize th…
Symbols of Identity and Culture of the Monogram in the Late Antique Mithraism
The highest number of mithraea in urban context of the ancient world come from Ostia. Although we do not know the whole city, mithraea have been found in all districts of the town.

Da Kaprotabis ad Angera. L’epigrafe funeraria di un Siriano ai piedi delle Alpi
During excavations undertaken in 2001 in the historic centre of Angera on Lake Maggiore (Italy) a funerary marble slab inscribed in Greek was found reused in a tomb dated from the early Middle Ages. The inscription refers to a Syrian who moved to the Milan area between the 4th and 5th century. He has a Semitic name and he came from the village of Kaprotabis, unidentified, but which could be Kafartab, not far from Apamea. The text has three Christ…
