CHURCH OF S. CLEMENT,

belonging to the Irish Dominicans, of which the late Father Mullooly

was prior, to whose instrumentality we are indebted for the discovery

of the ancient church, and the Temple of Mithras beneath it, under the

present edifice. On some occasions (November 23rd, February 2nd, and

the second Monday in Lent) they are illuminated. Father Mullooly has

written a book on his discoveries; it can be purchased of the

sacristan, and will be found very interesting.

The excavations have been carried out by voluntary subscriptions, and

visitors are expected to make a donation in furtherance of this

object. A book for the names and amounts will be found in the

sacristy.
