		The Basilica of San Clemente is situated some three hundred yards above the Colosseum, on a road that rises gradually to St John Lateran from the valley between the Coelian Hill on the south and the Oppian Hill on the north.
		It is generally assumed in books on San Clemente that a Benedictine community occupied the original basilica from the sixth century onwards, but this is clearly due, to a misreading of a passage in the Dialogues of Pope Gregory the Great (590-604).
		In 1645 the Dominicans of San Sisto were put in as caretakers by Camillo Pamphili, the Cardinal-nephew of Innocent X, the whole property being handed over in perpetuity to the Dominican Order in 1667 by Cardinal Francis Maidalchini, Pamphili's successor as Commendatory abbot of San Clemente.

		One of the most impressive archaeological sites in Rome, San Clemente is a 12th-century church built on top of a 4th-century church, which in turn was built over a 2nd-century pagan temple to the god Mithras.
		From the right nave, stairs lead down to the remains of the 4th-century church, which was active until 1084, when it was damaged beyond repair during a siege of the area by the Norman prince Robert Guiscard.
		Mithras was believed to have been born in a cave and was thus worshipped in underground, cavernous chambers, where initiates into the all-male cult would share a meal while reclining on stone couches.
