The Romans were not the quietest people in the world. They advanced, they entered Europe and they were expanding their dominions, conquering other towns and enriching their culture. Thus they went far, to present-day England, where they founded a city that over time came to be called London, London.
Therefore, among the many London tourist attractionsHow about traveling many centuries into the past and seeing something of the Roman legacy live on English soil? The Roman legacy in England you can know it without leaving London. Here are the ruins of the Temple of Mithras. They were found under Walbrook Street during post-World War II reconstruction work.
But wasn't Mithras a Persian god? Yes, but the Romans did not disgust foreign gods and this Persian god was very accepted among the Roman army settled in these lands. It was they, then, the builders of this roman temple in london, a work dating from between 240 and 50 BC
Of course the ruins were taken to a better site and today they are divided between two places: there is an exhibition in honor of the Temple of Mithras in the London museum, with information and some of the marble statues that were found buried. On the other hand, the ruins themselves were moved to Reina Victoria Street where they are exhibited to the public. Therefore, it is always open to the public and admission is free. Oh sure, this is another of the free tourist attractions that you find in London.
