There was a Mithraeum at Borcovicium and our viewpoint character, Gratillonius, is a Mithraist.

Kaor, Paul!
I'm a little puzzled at the Andersons writing "...an OFFICER...of the Halidom." I would have thought "priest" or "acolyte" more natural terms to use. Well, "officer" is understandable once you take Mithraism quasi military organization into account.
