The goal of this study is a religious analysis of the typologies of pagan symbols found in the Christian catacombs in Rome. The catacombs are considered to be collections of symbols referring to the link between a powerful pagan divinity and the Christian system of faith. This is one of the reasons why the description of the catacombal art is quite problematic. Art represents the primary verified material expression of Christianity as a culturally diverse religious minority. This generates a conflict and various parallels of the interpretation of pagan and Christian frescoes of the catacombal art. The insight into the usage of pagan and Christian symbols in the Christian catacombs is a very important matter. The objective arising from the main goal of this study is to introduce and analyze the influence of pagan and mythological scenes on Christian art in the Roman Christian catacombs. The subject analysis refers to the issue of the interpretation of symbols in the Christian catacombs and consequently to the complexity of the typology of catacombal art. It presents five types of typologies of the catacombal art that can be used for at least partial interpretation of the pagan and Christian frescoes and symbols. The complexity of the interpretation lies in the fact that none of these typologies can be universally applied. Individual interpretation theories of the early Christian usage of pagan images, themes or frescoes - neutrality, re-interpretation and syncretism - do not exclude each other neither do they verify each other. This variety is caused by diversity of the accepted research criteria. The methodological approach applied in this study is based on the description of the sources and their subsequent analysis.
