Welcome to episode 1 of our Londinium miniseries! Where we consider the practicalities of naked initiation ceremonies, and Caroline delights us with her extensive collection of key facts... (Did you know that some Roman keys could fold up? And some were designed to break after one use!?!). In April 2025 we visited the London Mithraeum to explore the excellent exhibition space and peruse the artefacts currently on display. The excavation of 2012-2014 yielded a huge array of over 14,000 finds, about 600 of which have been beautifully curated for visitors to enjoy. Here, we talk you through our favourites.If you´d like to visit the London Mithraeum or find out more about the excavations, then try these links:London MithraeumLost rivers: The Walbrook | London MuseumWalbrook Discovery Programme | Explore and engage with MOLA's current archaeological findings along the banks of the City of London's hidden river the Walbrook10 Facts About The Secret Roman Cult of Mithras | History HitMusic credit goes to our resident composer Alice Morgan, (you can find Alice on Instagram - missalicekeys).Finally, if you like what you hear then don´t be shy!
