Jajce Mithraeum, Roman temple in Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Jajce Mithraeum features underground chambers and stone reliefs dedicated to the worship of the sun god Mithra from ancient Roman times.
This temple dates from the 2nd century CE and underwent reconstruction during the 4th century CE, marking the spread of Mithraism across the Roman Empire.
The temple represents the religious practices of Roman soldiers and merchants who brought the Mithraic cult from the Orient to the Mediterranean regions.
The temple structure is protected by glass walls, and visitors need to contact the Ethnological Museum of Jajce before entering the archaeological site.
Archaeological findings at the site include a silver brooch with a curved foot and sixteen coins from the early 4th century CE.
