Rome: Via Appia, Vigna Randali Catacomb, menarah (BSR Parker Archive)
On the Appian Way were a number of ancient catacombs for both Christian and Jewish burials.
This
albumen print by Parker, taken in 1864-6, shows
an inscribed tablet with a menorah or seven-branched candlestick from the Jewish catacombs at Vigna
Randanini. This underground burial zone is located near the Christian catacombs
of San Sebastian.
