  Temple of Mithras, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Temple of Mithras, Walbrook, perhaps the most famous of all twentieth-century Roman discoveries in the City of London, was discovered in Walbrook, a street in the City of London, during rebuilding work in 1957.
The temple, initially hoped to have been an early Christian church, was built in the mid-3rd century and dedicated to Mithras or perhaps jointly to several deities popular among Roman soldiers.
Found within the temple where they had been carefully buried at the time of its rededication were finely-detailed third-century white marble likenesses of Minerva, Mercury the guide of the souls of the dead, and the syncretic gods Mithras and Serapis, imported from Italy.
