## Commentary

The Catacombs of Priscilla on the Via Salaria in Rome are situated in a quarry that during Roman time was used for burials. Some of the walls and ceilings in the catacombs display fine decorations illustrating Biblical scenes. They contain many wall paintings representing saints and early Christian symbols. The photo shows the burial chamber of the coopers. The depiction on the rear walls shows a scene connected with this trade.
