Event Details
PLEASE NOTE - THIS EVENT HAS CHANGED VENUES
Join experts on Roman architecture and history, Context Travel for rare access into the underworld of Rome, and go inside the hidden Mithraeum under Circus Maximus.
The mithraeum (a gathering place for adherents to the mystical
cult of Mithras) under the Circus Maximus is one of the best examples
of this type of subterranean site to be found in Rome. It was uncovered
during the constructions of a Fascist-era office building, and is now
preserved (behind locked doors) for archaeologists and other scholars
of antiquity. This particular space very clearly lays out how the
rituals of mithraism were observed, from the ritual feasting to the
recreated act of killing and sacrificing a bull. (There is a wonderful
bas relief discovered on-site that shows this sacrifice in detail.)
This
special site visit will include an on-site lecture by one of our
archaeologists, discussing the specifics of this mithraeum and also the
cult of Mithras and other illicit religions during the first years of
the empire.
The visit will start at 9AM.
The price of the visit remains the same : euro 35.
