Ardea. Hypogeum Christian Oratorio

Under the fortress of Ardea, in an area in front of the Casarinaccio excavations, a late Republican Nymph was found in a cave.

This was then transformed in the fifth century into a place of Christian worship.

It is the first evidence in Lazio of the presence of Christians in such an ancient period.
