rome - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Rome
  the most celebrated city in the world at the time of Christ. It
  is said to have been founded B.C. 753. When the New Testament
  was written, Rome was enriched and adorned with the spoils of
  the world, and contained a population estimated at 1,200,000, of
  which the half were slaves, and including representatives of
  nearly every nation then known. It was distinguished for its
  wealth and luxury and profligacy. The empire of which it was the
  capital had then reached its greatest prosperity.
  
    On the day of Pentecost there were in Jerusalem "strangers
  from Rome," who doubtless carried with them back to Rome tidings
  of that great day, and were instrumental in founding the church
  there. Paul was brought to this city a prisoner, where he
  remained for two years (Acts 28:30, 31) "in his own hired
  house." While here, Paul wrote his epistles to the Philippians,
  to the Ephesians, to the Colossians, to Philemon, and probably
  also to the Hebrews. He had during these years for companions
  Luke and Aristarchus (Acts 27:2), Timothy (Phil. 1:1; Col. 1:1),
  Tychicus (Eph. 6: 21), Epaphroditus (Phil. 4:18), and John Mark
  (Col. 4:10). (See PAUL.)
  
    Beneath this city are extensive galleries, called "catacombs,"
  which were used from about the time of the apostles (one of the
  inscriptions found in them bears the date A.D. 71) for some
  three hundred years as places of refuge in the time of
  persecution, and also of worship and burial. About four thousand
  inscriptions have been found in the catacombs. These give an
  interesting insight into the history of the church at Rome down
  to the time of Constantine.
