"This handbook brings together work by leading scholars of the archaeology of early Christianity in the Mediterranean and surrounding regions. The 34 essays to this volume ground the history, culture, and society of the first seven centuries of Christianity in the latest currents of archaeological method, theory, and research."--
Rome is famous as the capital of Christianity and the "city of a thousand churches." With a fresh perspective on the history of the Roman Catholic church, visit 40 sacred buildings, from ancient catacombs to contemporary churches in sprawling suburbs. S. Stefano Rotondo, built to honor Christianity's first martyr, has close and mysterious associations to Christ's own tomb in Jerusalem. S. Maria Sopra Minerva is filled with art treasures and the ghosts of protagonists from medieval Rome. S. Andrea al Quirinale, with its oval shape, theatrical altar, and splendid dome, epitomizes the Baroque period at its height.
