Gimmeldingen Mithraeum, Roman temple ruins in Gimmeldingen, Germany
The Gimmeldingen Mithraeum contains stone relief carvings depicting the ritual sacrifice of a bull, with multiple altars arranged in a typical Roman temple layout.
Built in 325 CE, this underground temple served Roman soldiers and merchants who practiced secret rituals dedicated to the god Mithras during the late empire period.
The temple layout includes stone benches along both sides of a central aisle where members gathered for ceremonial meals and initiation ceremonies.
The original stone artifacts discovered at the site are now exhibited at the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Speyer, with replicas displayed at the original location.
Archaeological records indicate this Mithraeum stands as the latest dated temple of its kind in the entire Roman Empire, marking the final phase of official Mithraic worship.
