Bones and Catacombs, Rome
The famous Roman catacombs are the former burial grounds that date from the second to the fifth century and were principally used by Christians and Jews. The tradition of using underground passageways to bury the dead began because Christians did not agree with the pagan custom of burning the dead, so they built veritable labyrinths under the city to bury the dead instead.
