Popis:	A particular problem related to Mithraic religion concerns the lighting systems. In the crepuscolar and night rituality the artificial light - obtained through chandeliers and oil lamps - often plays a decisive role. The mystical atmosphere was achieved in special ways, also with the natural light, that allowed to obtain particular effects in certain moments of the day: the arrangement of the doors, windows and openings was intended to emphasize the symbolic and spiritual value of the light. Here we intend to analyze, with some examples, the choices made by Mithraism in relation to the problem of enlightenment and the important role it played during the rituals.
