But as the Roman Empire grew, these chambers built for the dead took on a new life. Journey back to the second century AD, when the religious outcasts of the empire hid and worshipped in the catacombs, safe from the intoIerance of the world above. lnterviews with leading scholars reveaI how the subterranean city grew over the centuries, populated by pagans, Christians and Jews. But with the coIIapse of the empire, these dark chambers were sealed off and forgotten for a thousand years.
