The remains of a Mithraeum (Temple to the god Mithras) in London. Now underground in the Bloomberg Space, it stands a few metres from its original location. The drawing (from MOLA/Judith Dobie) reconstructs how it may have looked in antiquity

In another timeline, I’d be taking my students around medieval churches in Rome this week.
I wish they could hear the water running through the Mithraeum in S Clemente & listen to the nuns sing in Sta Pudenziana. I wish I could sneak them into the Vatican (hopefully next year🤞)

Mithras was a version of the God Mithra & was widely worshipped in a religion called the Mithraic mysteries. Worshippers were called syndexioi, (united by the handshake) & met in underground temples, (mithraeum). Mithraism rivalled Christianity for a time

My new favourite artefact is this miniature amulet in the shape of a gladiator helmet at the London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE (left). Carved from Baltic amber, AD43-170. Romans believed amber had healing powers. It may have been worn as a pendant. Large pic from info panel

Tonight back to Londinium, and the amazing Mithraeum on the Walbrook! The museum display in the entrance includes wax writing tablets, one featuring the earliest document from the city dating to the AD 50s, and one with the earliest mention of London in an address.
