Answer 4

By the Romans. At one point they were forced underground, both figuratively and literally. There are caves that are in between Turkey and Greece that were built by the Christians right into the volcanic ash. It was on a trade route, and the people there became very wealthy, and built elaborate homes right into volcanic ash. It appears that at one point they became heavily involved in Christianity, and then shortly after, the Romans went hunting. They just dug very very deep into the volcanic ash, and built homes hundreds of feet deep, and lived their for hundreds of years. It was really quite remarkeble.
