Excavations of the Case Romane

The building complex below the Basilica of SS. John and Paul al Celio consists of three 2nd and 3rd Roman houses. In the middle of the 3rd century, two houses were converted into one notably high-status property. The modern consensus is that the house was a private residence of a rich Christian by the late 4th century.

For reference, a plan of the church is available here.
