Franz Cumont fue un arqueólogo e historiador belga reconocido por sus estudios sobre las religiones mistéricas sincréticas de la Antigüedad Tardía. Aplicó su extenso conocimiento de filología y epigrafía para investigar el impacto de los cultos mistéricos orientales, en particular el mitraísmo, en el Imperio Romano. Su obra revela una fascinante interconexión de tradiciones religiosas en el mundo antiguo, ofreciendo profundas perspectivas sobre la vida espiritual de las sociedades antiguas. La investigación de Cumont, incluidas sus expediciones arqueológicas en Siria y en el Éufrates, sigue siendo un recurso crucial para comprender los fenómenos culturales y religiosos del período antiguo.
