Some places to visit

  • Mithraeum of Tiddis

    The Mithraeum was housed in a cave. The vault is almost dome-shaped and in front of the cave there is enough space for a possible adjacent temple.

     
  • Probable Mithraeum on the Aventine between S. Saba and Via Salvator, Rome

    Roman building on the Aventine between the eastern side of S. Saba and Via Salvator, probably used as a Mithraeum at the end of the 4th century, with a long corridor bearing three semicircular niches and a large external basin.

     
  • Mithraeum of Burham

    To date, there is no evidence that the so-called Mithraeum of Burham was ever used to worship the sun god.

     
  • Mitreo della domus dei capitelli

    Archaeologists discovered the 20th temple dedicated to Mithras in Ostia during the restoration of the domus del capitello di stucco in 2022.
