Aquincum Mithraeum (of Victorinus)

The Aquincum Mithraeum (of Victorinus) is a temple to the Roman god Mithras in Budapest, Hungary.

The temple was discovered during excavations in 1888 within what appeared to be a large house near to the centre of the Roman city.

A central nave about 2.18m wide and 1 meter below ground level was flanked on either side by podium benches for the initiates to recline on during the ceremonies (see Mithraic worship).

Along the front of the benches, and slightly recessed into them, were placed a pair of small altars (H 0.65 Br.

The tauroctony fragment and the altar are located in the eastern wing of the Lapidarium situated at the northern edge of the Archaeological Park.
