Mithras temple

2021 worship a

The ruins of this temple were found near Carrawburgh Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. The three altars are replicas.  The soldiers stationed at the Fort built the temple around 200 AD to worship Mithras.  Mithraism was a Roman cult long thought to be inspired by Iranian beliefs connected to Zoroastricsm but newer research finds this less convincing.  However, this was a temple and there was worshipping going on.

Linked to Friday Fun: Worship.
