Visiting the Catacombs of Rome is a truly fascinating experience. Discover the history behind the early Christians who lived in a mainly Pagan society where Christianity was considered "a strange and illegal superstition". Learn why cremation was practiced regularly by the Romans; and why burial within the city walls was outlawed. You will find out why Christians started to construct underground cemeteries outside the city walls in the 2nd century. Come travel the "queen of roads" along the Appian Way to set your eyes upon the infamous Catacombs of Rome. You will observe first hand the use of secret symbols ostracized Christians devised to practice their faith. Venture up to 65 feet below the Earth's surface to feel history come alive!
