The main gallery, known as the Spelunca Magna, was excavated in the 2<sup>nd</sup> century CE and actively used in the 3<sup>rd</sup> century CE. An additional deeper layer was excavated and exploited in the 4<sup>th</sup> century CE. The tombs were initially reserved for wealthy Roman patrons, but Christian interments frequently occurred in the catacombs’ later period. The complex was allegedly restored in the early 8<sup>th</sup> century by Pope Gregory III but was subsequently forgotten and only rediscovered in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. The catacombs feature fine architectural details and important examples of 3<sup>rd</sup>-4<sup>th</sup> century funerary painting. One notable tomb is the Square Crypt, which incorporates Carrara marble cladding and frescoes depicting the symbolic attributes of the seasons.  <br /><br /><u>Further reading</u>:<br />\nWinthrow, W.H.
