Hypogeum of Vibia, Underground burial complex along Via Appia Antica, Rome, Italy
The Hypogeum of Vibia contains three levels of galleries with eight private burial chambers carved into bedrock, located 7-9 meters below ground level.
Constructed around 350 CE, this burial site contains the remains of Vibia and her husband Vincentius, a priest of the Thraco-Phrygian god Sabazios.
The burial chambers feature paintings depicting mythological scenes, including Vibia as Proserpina being taken by Pluto, along with inscriptions and banquet illustrations.
Located 1.5 kilometers outside the Aurelian Walls, the site requires advance reservations through email at protocollo@arcsacra.va or phone at +39 064465610.
The structure evolved from separate private hypogea into connected spaces, incorporating both Mithraic Mysteries and Sabazios cult elements in its decorations.
