What were catacombs used for?
Most of the catacombs were tunnelled as mines by the Roman authorities. When they were no longer productive, they were taken over by the followers of the sun god, Mithras, who was always worshipped underground. By the third century, the gfollowers of Mithras were becoming less numerous and the more numerous Christians were able to take over the catacombs. The Christians used the catacombs as burial chambers, perhaps in part to show contempt for Mithraism. The catacombs were well-known to the Roman authorities, who after all had originally dug them. Also many pagan Romans had visited them to worship Mithras. So the catacombs would have offered little protection in times of persecution.
