What is a sacuarium?

A sacuarium, also known as a sacellum, refers to a small, sacred space or shrine, often found in ancient Roman and early Christian contexts. It typically served as a private place for worship or the veneration of deities, ancestors, or important figures. The term can also denote a specific area within a larger temple or church dedicated to particular rituals or offerings. These spaces were significant for personal devotion and community religious practices.
