Mithras, an evolution of the Persian Mithra, was a god worshipped by ancient Romans as a form of Roman paganism, often depicted with the image of him slaying a bull.
The cult of Mithras had a prominent presence in the city of Londinium, where they had a temple dedicated to him. After being abandoned for numerous centuries following the Roman exodus of Britannia in the 5th century, the temple was subsequently used by a faction of the Order of the Ancients, who worshipped the god and practiced its beliefs.[1]
In the middle ages, Levantine Assassin Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad noted in his codex the similarities between Mithra and figures of other belief systems such as Jesus of Nazareth, Horus, and Dionysos. He postulated that these stories shared a common source.[2]
