(rare)Roman Mithras.
“The cult of Mithra had been spread by soldiers and had thrived particularly in the frontier provinces of the empire.”
“The Roman Mithra was best known for his act of slaying a bull; yet there is no indication that the Iranian Mithra ever made his way into a bullpen for any reason. The Roman Mithra didn't appear at all interested in contract enforcement or escorting demons into hell.”
