>> “Really? Jesus died on a cross of Mithra as well?” <<

. Honestly, is that what serves for logic in your mind? The ‘cross’ Yeshua died on was the standard 6’ long wood timber that was placed on the top of a post that was permanently set in the soil.

Oho, you now profess the tau cross? If that is so, then how was the sign "Jesus King of the Jews" nailed above His head?

The cross of Mithra that the RCC decided to adopt and call the cross of Peter is a bit different than that, isn't it!

All of Christianity believes in the traditional cross and not the tau cross.

Then explain why there is no mention of such in any epistle, nor in the Revelation?

Roman crucifixion is well described in colateral writings, and always the vertical post was a permanent installation, and the cross bar was placed on top.

Peter had no cross, and the bronze figure on display at the Vatican is of Jupiter/Zeus, not Peter; it came from Greece originally.
