WEBINAR RECORDING | “Italy’s Great Monuments: San Clemente in Rome”
Presented by Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Join Dr. Rocky for this free webinar to understand why no complex in Rome better expresses the historical complexity of the city than San Clemente. The present Medieval church stands above an Early Christian one, which in turn was built atop of an ancient Roman palace and apartment building. But the most exceptional and mysterious part of the structure is the perfectly preserved Mithraic temple complex housed within. We shall peel back the strata of Rome, descending through millennia to the period when all Roman cults, including one called “Christianity,” cohabited peacefully.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
