The Catacombs of Domitilla on the Via Appia Antica in Rome (named after Saint Domitilla) spread over 17 kilometres of underground caves.
They are the oldest of Rome's underground burial networks, and the only ones to still contain bones. They are also the best preserved and one of the most extensive of all the catacombs.
The picture shows the view of the apse of the chamber of the millers in the catacombs of Domitilla. As well as scenes illustrating the activities of the deceased, the most prominent position in the apse was taken up by individual depictions with theological themes.
