Clearly, the interest in collective burial is a need of the faithful. It is an option, but not at all obligatory. The nuclei of 3rd-century catacombs show the presence of different groups of persons, which frequently do not allow drawing conclusions on their religious affiliation. The absence of Christian elements does not mean that the commissioners of the burial rooms were pagan; Christians may not have felt the need to express their faith. The intentions the commissioners determine the choice of epigraphic formulary and figural decoration. During the 3rd century, it seems that mostly laymen organizing them, women played a particular role in organizing relics and corpses of martyrs. Laymen also kept the memory of martyrs alive. The choice of a certain catacomb for the own interment was determined by personal relations.

Pourquoi a-t-on choisi cette image, et que nous apprend-elle sur ses commanditaires et son contexte historique et social ? Des réponses ne peuvent être apportées que lorsque le groupe des monuments sur lesquels on trouve cette image est suffisamment grand et quand les commanditaires et leur contexte social sont connus. C’est le cas des sarcophages paléochrétiens, sur les inscript..

Berry Collection in the Eskenazi Museum of Art in Indiana has been controversial in both its dating and authenticity. A parallel for the raising of the dead is provided by a scene on Ciborium Column D in San Marco in Venice, which can be dated to the Justinianic period on the basis of an examination of the iconography of all the cenes.
A review of the theological texts dealing with Christ's descent into the netherworld shows that this theologumenon must have been well known in the world of the Oikumene. Comparisons for all the elements of the iconography can be found in various representations, albeit mostly later ones. The gemstone fits into a group of closely comparable rock crystal gemstones in form and style. The setting with its suspension has parallels in the 6th century, although an origin in the 7th century cannot be ruled out.

Jahrhunderts einsetzen, stammt die älteste Inschrift, die die Auferweckung der Toten erwähnt, erst aus dem frühen 4. Jahrhundert. Diese Inschrift2, die durch die Erwähnung des Pontifikats des Papstes Marcellinus (296-304) datiert ist, gilt der neunjährigen Severa, der Tochter des Diakons Severus, der vom Papst die Erlaubnis erhalten hatte, in der Calixtus-Katakombe ein Doppel-Cubiculum mit Arkosolien und Lichtschaft errichten zu lassen. Die entsprechende Passage lautet:

When these express ideas on death and beyond they prefer across the board expressions referring to the community with God or Christ and to eternal life. In the East of the Roman Empire invocations to God enjoy great popularity. A theme to be found regularly both in the East and West is the community of the saints, although martyrs and specific saints are seldom asked for help and intercession.1 Considered from this point of view it is not amazing that angels are scarcely found found in grave inscriptions. Inscriptions referring to angels may be divided into three groups regarding their contents: angels and death, angels in the afterlife, and angels and Parousia.2 In addition, one grave inscription mentions the dedication of a church to the holy angels.

War er je dort? Starb er als Märtyrer? Wie sind das Schicksal von Petrus und Paulus miteinander verknüpft? Radikale Anfragen an widerspenstige Quellen, Kontroversen zwischen Experten und neue Zugriffe auf historische Erinnerungen offenbaren die Leidenschaft, aus der Forschung lebt und aus der neue Gewissheiten erwachsen.
