Dazzling 'Temple of Colored Marbles' Honoring Roman God Discovered in Italy


Dec 13, 2019

Some 1,600 years ago, ancient Romans would have worshipped the god Mithras, possibly in an altered state of consciousness, within the “Mithraeum of Colored Marbles,” said archaeologists who found the remains of this temple in Ostia, Italy.

Artifacts and inscriptions found in the mithraeum suggest that the worshippers venerated both Mithras, a popular god in the Roman Empire, and other gods.
