	Rome
   the most celebrated city in the world at the time of Christ. It
   is said to have been founded B.C. 753. When the New Testament
   was written, Rome was enriched and adorned with the spoils of
   the world, and contained a population estimated at 1,200,000, of
   which the half were slaves, and including representatives of
   nearly every nation then known. It was distinguished for its
   wealth and luxury and profligacy. The empire of which it was the
   capital had then reached its greatest prosperity.
   
     On the day of Pentecost there were in Jerusalem "strangers
   from Rome," who doubtless carried with them back to Rome tidings
   of that great day, and were instrumental in founding the church
   there. Paul was brought to this city a prisoner, where he
   remained for two years (Acts 28:30, 31) "in his own hired
   house." While here, Paul wrote his epistles to the Philippians,
   to the Ephesians, to the Colossians, to Philemon, and probably
   also to the Hebrews. He had during these years for companions
   Luke and Aristarchus (Acts 27:2), Timothy (Phil. 1:1; Col. 1:1),
   Tychicus (Eph. 6: 21), Epaphroditus (Phil. 4:18), and John Mark
   (Col. 4:10). (See PAUL.)
   
     Beneath this city are extensive galleries, called "catacombs,"
   which were used from about the time of the apostles (one of the
   inscriptions found in them bears the date A.D. 71) for some
   three hundred years as places of refuge in the time of
   persecution, and also of worship and burial. About four thousand
   inscriptions have been found in the catacombs. These give an
   interesting insight into the history of the church at Rome down
   to the time of Constantine.
