説明

The Romans had to provide for their own burial places. Rich Romans spent huge amount of money to build their monumental tombs. But many poor Romans left no memorial. Their corpses were thrown unceremoniously into collective pits (puticuli) outside the city. So in order to make sure to have their burial places, they became members of cooperative burial clubs (collegia), or they depended on wealthy patrons, who provided collective burial chambers (columbaria) for them. Later as the population of the city of Rome grew, the price of land around the city soared. And the way of burial gradually changed from cremation to interment. Consequently the shortage of place for burial became serious problem. For that reason, burial places were located underground.
