I should have said AT THE SAME TIME AS CHRIST, when I threw in Mithra, but other than that, no I wasn't wrong.

I've read "THE MYSTERIES OF MITHRA" and "ORIENTAL RELIGIONS IN ROMAN PAGANISM", by Franz Cumont book. I suggest you read "THE ANCIENT MYSTERY CULTS" , edited by Marvin W. Meyer, "MYTERY RELIGIONS ON THE ANCIET WORLD", by Jocelyn Godwin,and "THE MYSTERIES OF RELIGION", by Stephen R. L. Clark; for starters.

Read the links. Cumont is outdated scholarship.
