Présentation de l'éditeur
Vatican is the name of an irregular mass of buildings at Rome, connected, at one extremity, with the magnificent cathedral of St. Peter s. The name is derived from that of the hill on which it stands; a name given to it by the old Romans on account of the vaticinations or divinations of theE truscan andR oman vates or soothsayers, who made it the place of their fraudulent juggleries, and hence it is called the Vatican Hill. See p. 10.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the labyrinthine catacombs of Rome, revealing the hidden world of early Christianity. These vast subterranean cities were once the refuge of persecuted believers, and their walls bear silent witness to the faith, struggles, and triumphs of those who sought sanctuary within. Through inscriptions, sculptures, and historical accounts, the author provides a vivid and immersive glimpse into the lives and beliefs of the ancient Christian community. By exploring the origins, purpose, and cultural significance of the catacombs, the book sheds light on the growth of Christianity from an obscure sect to a dominant force in the Roman Empire. The author examines the catacombs' role as a place of worship, burial, and social interaction, and discusses the evolution of Christian art and symbolism within these underground spaces. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in early Christian history, archaeology, or the broader social and cultural context of ancient Rome. It provides a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of the early Church, and offers insights into the enduring legacy of Christianity on Western civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
