Areimanius
deity Mithraic single tradition · 1
Areimanius is a god to whom altars were dedicated in Mithraism. The inscription Deo Areimanio (to the God Areimanius) is indeed found on a few altars to Mithras, but without any description that would link that name with a particular image. The text of the dedications suggest that in a Mithraic context Areimanius was not conceived of as an evil being, however formidable.

“However implausible the toleration of an evil god, the inscription Deo Areimanio (to the God Areimanius) is indeed found on a few altars to Mithras, but without any description that would link that name with a particular image. There are five high-quality dedications to Arimanius found throughout the Roman Empire”
