Fourth Century Christianity

Giovanni Battista de Rossi (1822-1894) was a noted scholar and the founder of modern Christian archaeology.  An expert in archaeology, epigraphy, and the topography of Rome, de Rossi developed a deep passion for Christian antiquity.  His studies, in fact, led to a rediscovery of the Christian catacombs.  In 1843, de Rossi developed a plan to produce a published critical edition of Rome’s Christian inscriptions.  The list below presents the contents of Volume II, Inscriptiones Christianae Urbis Romae.
