Finally we will enter to the catacombs with specialized guide. The first thing we’re going to encounter is a staircase, it can be up to 12 meters underground, and at the bottom of it are corridors that are forged in numerous directions. They are most commonly 4km long,and only so wide that 2 undertakers carrying coffins carrying the deceased could miss each other.
It is important to note that both pagan traditions and superstitions have found their place in early Christians, so items such as toys, coins, objects from the ivory, bells, silver and gold foils, and lamps, as well as dishes for food and drink. The deceased was buried necked after a ritual bath wrapped in a white canvas.
It will be unique oportunuty to learn about habits and traditions of the first christians.
This tour will offer You a perspective of the Christian Rome that you won’t experience in the city center.
