Description
The chaotic and luminous Rome, rich in art and antiquity, still represent only a small fraction of the ancient history. What is hidden beneath the streets of the modern city is even more extraordinary. Subterranean houses and courtyards, mysterious temples, underground passages and chambers still preserve precious works of art. The underground maze of catacombs, a network of dark and narrow tunnels and tombs situated outside the old city walls, represent the history of the earliest centuries of Christianity.
This book takes you to the hidden city of Rome, where more history and antiquity can be seen today, after more than two millenniums of natural silting and intentional burial.
