The Temple Of Mithras - Hadrians Wall. - YouTube: "The building was excavated in 1950 and found to be of two periods. The first building of the early third century was only 26 feet long and could not have held more than 10 or 12 men. One of its most interesting features was a small bunker for pine cones which had been carbonised by careful roasting and when burned in this state would have given off a strong pine aroma, clearly a ritual stimulant. The temple was soon enlarged to 36 feet during the later third century and to this was added a square apse which held a Mithraic relief. "
