No offence but you obviously mean ONE of the real temples of Mithra

The Mithra cult was a cult of worshippers spread throughout Europe and although not many, there are more then one places of worship excavated or documented.

Timeline: Roman Empire

For all us Belgians out there : The excavations at the city of Tienen have encovered a unique feature for the region France/Belgium/Netherlands: A "shrine" for the cult of Mithra, at least the foundations for one...
A reconstruction can be viewed in the new museum in Tienen(small but very cute and worth it)

Back off a bit ToKE, he wasn't being deliberately aggravational so there's no need for you to go all into bastard mode.

My post was in no way intended to offend (thx Damini:D ), just wanted to avoid a misconception that Mithra (temple, tomb or cult) was a local phenomenon... .As i said i loved the pics and i loved the idea of the tours throughout britain...

Who was Mithra, Afun?

Aye, ingame it is called tomb, but Toke is right that they took this templesite as example for the Thomb design above the ground
