The Petra Genetrix (Latin for "Mother Rock" or "Rock that Gave Birth") is the rock from which Mithras was born in esoteric Irano-Roman mythology. (See Category:Mithraism.) While most depictions of the Petra Genetrix show the figure of Mithras emerging from the rock, there are also a few depictions of the yet-unborn figure inside the rock.
