]You do not distinguish between the main religion of Persia (Zoroastrianism) and some smaller religions based on it like Persian Mithraism. Though Mithra as the Saoshyant and as the re-emergent divine might not have been recognised as such by the mainstream Persians (Zoroastrians), it was nevertheless what the Mithraist minority among the Persians believed.

The only ting that conect Zalmoxis cult whit Iran is the zalmoxian priests use cannabis indica ,because euro-cannabis dont have halucinogen effect.
The ascetic practice was wide spread(the most noumerous ascets from europe) in Romania until 1600.This tradition go back for an least 3000 years.
But can i ask you ,this small zoroastrian sects also belive in dualism as the main zoroastrism? The dualism wasnt a main expresion of zalmoxian belive.
The main god of zalmoxe was the Gebeleizis,the dragon slayer,while Ahura mazda didnt have such atribute.
