looking East towards Sycamore Gap

Housesteads Roman Fort is an impressive ruin .. but what captured our imagination the most was the sight of Hadrian's Wall stretching East and West into the distance. "A" and I are now planning to walk the long-distance trail!

Temple of Mithras, Hadrian's Wall

Temple of Mithras rems.

Mithras personified

The three altar stones are replicas. Presumably the recess at the back of the main Mithras altar would hold a lamp, candle or incense burner?
