Vindobala - Mithraeum

Mithraeum

In 1844, five altars, dedicated to Mithras, were discovered near the site, now known as the Rudchester Mithraeum. It is believed that these come from a temple to Mithras, situated to the south east of the fort. It appears that this was built in the third century and was deliberately destroyed in the fourth century. The building was 43 feet (13 m) long and 22 feet (6.7 m) wide with a narthex, or vestibule, attached to the front.
