Excerpt from Les Catacombes de Rome
Les catacombes sont des cimetières souterrains creusés parles premiers chrétiens aux environs des villes antiques. Il n'en existe pas seulement à Rome, mais dans la plupart des pays que baigne la mer Méditerranée, nommment en Italie à Naples et en Sicile à Syracuse, dans l'île de Malte, en Egypte à Alexandrie, en Tunisie à Sousse (hadrumete). Celles de Rome sont les plus vastes et les plus célèbres de toutes leur étendue et leur réputation tiennent à l'importance même de la communauté chrétienne qui habitait la capitale de l'empire et de l'eglise.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of catacombs in Rome, underground cemeteries where early Christians laid their dead. By following both the history of their creation and the archaeological evidence found within, this book casts a unique light on the practices, beliefs, and art of an ancient Christian community. The book shows how the catacombs, used exclusively as burial grounds for persecuted Christians in their first centuries, later became revered pilgrimage sites used to house relics of saints, before eventually falling into disuse. The author's meticulous approach to evidence illuminates the entire history of these vast subterranean burial networks, revealing both their fascinating construction and evolution, and the central role they played in the development of Christianity.
