The Roman Catacombs
Rome, otherwise called the "Eternal City", is one of the most visited towns in Europe and the globe. The city is legendary for its huge and rich historic heritage. Having been the centre of power, religion and culture being the famous city of the Roman Empire, Rome exerted immense influence over the world during its more than 2,500 years of existence.

The catacombs stretches for a length of thirteen kilometres and contains some 40,000 tombs. Who needs to visit the catacombs in Rome should book an apartment Rom in time.
The catacombs of Rome were the subterranean Christian cemeteries. As the Romans practiced cremation rites they forbade funerals within the confines of the city walls. Ancient Christians forbade cremation believing the corpse needed to be left whole to be resurrected. The issue was that early Christians didn't own land individually, and the Church hadn't had time to amass collective land to permit individual funeral plots. This made a difficulty in space which led straight to the development of catacombs. Don't miss the catacombs in Rome and book now your appartement Rom.
The catacombs were huge business. People paid masses of cash to be buried in them particularly in a coveted spot close to a martyr. Constantine spoiled that business opportunity when he validated Christianity as the state faith, thus ending martyrdom. If families wanted a painting or a special symbol like a cross, a dove or a fish on the rock face close to the funeral spot they were forced to pay rather a lot additional.
There plenty of catacombs under Rome and the surrounding districts and every one of them has its own importance in history. There are fourteen famous catacomb types. These are the catacomb of Marcellinus and Peter, of Domitilla, of Commodilla, of Gegerosa, of Praetextatus, of Priscilla, of San Caqlisto, of San Lorentzo, of San Prancanzo, of San Sebestiano, of San Lorenzo, of San Prancanzio, of San Sebestanio, of San Calantino, of Sant Agnese, of thru Anapo and Jewish catacombs.
