Ritual Meal: Temple of Mithras
#2
Quote:Bread (symbolising the Bull’s body, red wine, symbolising his blood, along with chicken (remains of chicken were found by the excavators beneath the altars), and the time honoured staples of smoked cheese and smoked ham.

Nice pictures - thanks for sharing them!
