About the Author

Franz-Valéry-Marie Cumont (1868-1947) was a Belgian archaeologist and historian. He overcame religious discrimination at the University of Ghent to launch a brilliant career, studying the impact of Mithraism and other Eastern mystery religions on the Roman Empire. His writings include After-Life in Roman Paganism (1922) and Astrology and Religion Among the Greeks and Romans.
