- Mithraeum
- Location
- Basilica di San Clemente, Rome, Italy
- Caption
- The lowest level of excavations beneath San Clemente is home to Roman apartments and this 3rd-century Temple of Mithras. It was deliberately destroyed when the church was built, but one room has survived: a small artificial cave with stars on the ceiling, long side benches, and a stone altar with a relief of Mithras slaying the bull.
