The Sanctuary of Isis and Magna Mater was erected in the Roman town of Moguntiacum in the first century AD and abandoned in the third century AD. It was re-discovered and excavated during the building of a new mall in the city centre of Mainz in 1999. Dedicating inscriptions show a connection of the Flavian Emperors to the building of the sanctuary. The inscriptions also show the possibility of a connection between the dedication of the sanctuary and an explosive political event. The small museum in the basement of the „Römerpassage“ contains the remains of the buildings, selected finds and a small multimedia presentation.
