The Cemetery "at the two Laurels" At the third mile of the ancient via Labicana, whitch corresponds to today's via Casilina in Rome, is situated the ancient Roman site "ad duas lauros", or "at the two laurels", named for the shrubs traditionally present at the emperors' estates. Excavated below this location between the 3rd and 5th centuries CE, the Catacombs of the SS. Marcellino and Pietro house many tombs of very rich Christians who have left us wuonderful frescoes recently restored to their original splendor through laser technology. With its 18,000 square meters of galleries and chambers at about 16 meters below ground level, these catacombs represent an authentic tresure trove of Subterranean Christian Rome

Ancient catacombs situated on the 3rd mile of the ancient Via Labicana, today Via Casilina in Rome near the church of Santi Marcellino e Pietro ad Duas Lauros. Their name refers to the Christian martyrs Marcellinus and Peter who, according to tradition, were buried here, near the body of St. Tiburtius. In 2006, over a thousand skeletons were discovered in these catacombs; the skeletons were stacked one on top of each other and still bore the togas they were buried with. The Catacombs opened after restorations on the 13th April 2014. The Catacombs are open only on Saturdays and on Sundays for individual visitors.
