What hiding places? Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) tells us that the church enjoyed many intervals of peace and tranquillity, and that there were actually only short periods of widespread, official persecution of the Christians. The early Christians used house churches, sometimes purpose-modified, but properly constructed churches were becoming common as early as the third century. Some of the early Church Fathers even exchanged correspondence with the Roman emperors! By and large, there was no reason to hide.
Gibbon says the ecclesiastical writers of the fourth or fifth centuries ascribed to the pagan magistrates of Rome the same degree of implacable and unrelenting zeal which filled their own breasts against the heretics or the idolaters of their own times. It seems that they were justifying their own savage persecutions of pagans and Gnostic Christians by creating traditions of unrelenting persecutions in pagan times.
