though this page (except for the .jpg) is in Eyetalian, it is part of an
extensive, multi-language site
http://www.catacombe.roma.it/
(E.g., an English edition of the cripta page:
http://www.catacombe.roma.it/en/cripta.html)
which contians quite a lot of information about the Catacombs, in a form which
is relatively painless to absorb.
i was not aware, for example, of the *extent* of the complex: "The galleries,
sometimes in four levels, are 12 miles long. The tombs are numerous, perhaps
half a million." (http://www.catacombe.roma.it/en/callisto.html)
