(Latin: little room)

One of the names of the small memorial chapels erected in earliest Christian cemeteries, also called memoriae martyrum. It is supposed that the edifices erected by Pope Fabian (236-250) were cellae, used for the celebration of the funeral agapae. In form they are cellae trichorae, consisting of a rectangular nave terminating in three semicircular apses
