About
In the Roman Empire Ptuj was an important, magnificent city (Poetovio) and a base camp. Soldiers from the east brought Mithraism, a Persian religion with mysterious rites that were only attended by men. Numerous monuments related to this cult are preserved in the 3rd century shrine of Mithras.
