Summary

Description

Head of Mithras in Phrygian cap (CIMRM 815), from Walbrook Mithraeum in Londinium, AD 180-220, Museum of London, Britain

The temple of Mithras in Londinium, re-built and dedicated to the god Bacchus, continued in use until the end of the Roman period. A group of marble sculptures were buried in a small pit under the floor of the nave out of respect for an older religion. These sculptures included the heads of Mithras, Serapis and Minerva, the hand of Mithras and the figure of Mercury. The sculptures of deities Serapis, Mercury and Minerva, although belonging to religions different to that of Mithras, performed some function or had become identified with some part of the worship of Mithras. These sculptures are now on display in the Roman London Gallery of the Museum of London.
