Franz Cumont fu un archeologo e storico belga, rinomato per i suoi studi sulle religioni misteriche sincretiche della tarda antichità. Applicò la sua vasta conoscenza della filologia e dell'epigrafia per indagare l'impatto dei culti misterici orientali, in particolare il mitraismo, sull'Impero Romano. Il suo lavoro rivela un'affascinante interconnessione di tradizioni religiose nel mondo antico, offrendo profonde intuizioni sulla vita spirituale delle società antiche. La ricerca di Cumont, comprese le sue imprese archeologiche in Siria e sull'Eufrate, rimane una risorsa cruciale per la comprensione dei fenomeni culturali e religiosi del periodo antico.
