Information on Catacombs
The original catacombs are buried beneath the Basilica of San Sebastiano in Rome. Catacomb structures were copied in many cities across the empire - famous examples also exist outside Rome and in Paris. The catacombs in Roman cities were also used as refuges for the Christian population, who were persecuted by the authorities and often could not live openly among normal Roman society.
The Roman idea of catacombs would have been popular with the Egyptians, who were already used to the idea of mummifying and entombing their dead. The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are a real location in Alexandria itself, and combine Egyptian, Greek and early Imperial Roman influences - this is probably what Lara visits while in the city.
