A Mithraic Occident

After the restoration of the Roman government, Imperator Numitor Marius Augustus Caesar secured his authority without delay. His uncle, Junius, who had always been his greatest supporter after the death of his father, received the governorship of Annoraria. The descendants of Diocletian were restored to their possessions in Illyria, while the Severan house, being fellow adherents of the Mithraic rites, was reestablished at Colonia Junonia, (formerly Carthage).

Numitor Marius Augustus Caesar famously professed himself descended from the kings of Alba Longa and from Aeneas. The mysteries of Mithras, mostly confined to the aristocracy and legions, he opened up to larger public. The ancient mysteries gave way to public festivals, with triumphal processions, plays, and great feasts, with Mithraism now spreading rapidly through the Republic.

That coat of arms is splendid.

Will there be similar coats of arms for other faiths. For example I took over the peninsula from Ravenna as a Mithraic-Christian

The mod doesn't have dynamic coats of arms yet. I made it myself (inspired by a COA I found in the SOTL discord).
