Reconstructed Roman temple reopens beneath streets of London
The Roman-era Temple of Mithras has been reconstructed as part of a multisensory museum beneath the streets of London. The Temple of Mithras dates back nearly 1,800 years, and was discovered on a World War II bomb site in 1954. Mithraism, a religion centred around the god Mithras, was practised in the Roman Empire between the first and fourth centuries.
