The Mithraic reliefs of Jort are bas-relief sculptures discovered in 2011 in the commune of Jort, Calvados department, Normandy region, France. The discovery was fortuitous, occurring during the public sanitation works. The reliefs have since been preserved in the town hall of the commune.
The so-called Eastern cults underwent significant development within the Roman Empire during various historical periods, particularly at the beginning of the Christian era. Mithra, initially an Indo-Iranian deity, was the son of Anahita. His cult experienced considerable growth within the Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries before being banned at the end of the 4th century by the Roman emperor Theodosius I.
Although the reliefs are incomplete and their iconography is relatively simple, they represent a unique and valuable source of information about the Mithraic cult in northwestern France.
