Cumont."The only dated Mithraic inscriptions from the pre-Christian peiord are the texts of Antiochus I of Commagene (69-34 B.C.) in eastern Asia Minor. After that there is one text possibly from the first century A.D., from Cappadocia, one from Phrygia dated to A.D. 77-78, and one from Rome dated to Trajan's reign (A.D. 98-117). All other dated Mithraic inscriptions and monuments belong to the second century (after A.D. 140), the third, and the fourth century A.D.". (M. J. Vermaseren, Corpus Inscriptionum et Monumentorum Religionis Mithriacae, 1956). 'Any possible sacramental meal in Mithraism is unrelated to the Lord's Supper because it was initiated much later, in the second century. Furthermore, the Christian meal is based on the Passover, begun during the time of Moses'. (Strobel, Lee, The Case for the Real Jesus (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2007), 170-173. the most important icon in the Roman cult was the tauroctony. This scene shows Mithras in the act of killing a bull, accompanied by a dog, a snake, a raven, and a scorpion; This icon was located in the most important place in every mithraeum, and therefore must have been an expression of the central myth of the Roman cult. Thus, if the god Mithras of the Roman religion was actually the Iranian god Mithra, we should expect to find in Iranian mythology a story in which Mithra kills a bull. However, the fact is that no such Iranian myth exists: in no known Iranian text does Mithra have anything to do with killing a bull'.(THE ORIGINS OF THE MITHRAIC MYSTERIES,Oxford University Press, 1991 David Ulansey). There's no evidence of Mithraism influencing first-century Christianity'.(Edwin Yamauchi - Strobel, 176).Ge????te?a, ?? ?p??esd?p?te ?µ???t?te? ????a?sµ??- ???st?a??sµ?? de? p??a???? ap? t?? pa?a??te?? ?e?s??? pa?ad?s?, a??a ap? t?? µeta?e?este?? t?? ???st?a??sµ?? ??µa??? pa??d?s? t?? ????a?sµ??.??s?ast???, p??a? t?? ?e?s??? pa?ad?s? ?a? p??s?d?sa? se a?t?? ???st?a???a st???e?a, ??a ?a ?t?p?s??? t?? ???st?a??sµ? .

Nice nice. Too bad these bridges are no longer about. They were landmarks in their day. This one looks like it was built just last week. Well done. Did you know it was illegal for dogs to cross these bridges; something to do with the sequence of their trot that caused harmful vibrations to the bridges. Apparently horses trot sequence did not cause a bad vibration. Don't know the science behind it but that's what I read.
