Summary/Abstract: In this study, the author, analyzing relevant written sources and using the fruits of archaeological work, explained how the followers of Jesus Christ settled in or near Rome managed the space for the needs of their faith before they were given the Basilica of Constantine on Lateran. Written sources and archaeological excavations do not provide information about the equipment of the halls, sacraria, domi ecclesiae or ecclesiae or their location in Urbe. Until the decision to start building a basilica dedicated to Saint Apostles Peter and Paul ad Catacumbas by the usurper Maxentius, the Christian heritage related to the use of space is like a part of disciplina arcani.
