Name given to the burial chambers in the Roman Catacombs, hewn out of the tufa rock along the passages, open to the right and left. Horizontal tiers of graves (loculi) rise from walls to ceilings. About 2,000,000 of them have been found. The more imposing graves with arched tombs were called arcosolia.
