What were Religion and Death for the Romans? Were their ceremonies, habits and hopes really so different from the ones of the Christians and ours? With this tour you will find answers by visiting the Appian Way, a perfectly preserved ancient road surrounded by the impressive tombs of Rome's elite as the mausoleum of CAECILIA METELLA, the daughter of a senator. You will then explore the christian CATACOMB of Domitilla, one of more than 60 in the city, and you will understand that such underground cemeteries had nothing to do with persecutions but much with a rational use of space. Entering the church of the MARTYRS NEREUS and ACHILLEUS with its poor, touching graves of common people will show the simple and intimate faith of the early Christians. Finally the grandiose S. PAUL'S BASILICA, erected in 390 AD in a pagan cemetery over the tomb of the saint, shows perfectly the transition to an official state religion imposed by the roman Emperors, reflecting the magnificence and decline of their absolute power.
