| ID | Title | E00324 | The Liber Pontificalis, written in Latin in Rome in the 530s, and re-edited before 546, in its account of *Pius (bishop of Rome, S00672) tells of his burial in Rome close to the body of *Peter (the Apostle, S00036) on 11 July [AD 146]. An interpolation in the second edition, certainly added later than 546, probably in Rome, attributes to Pius the construction of the church in Rome of *Pudentiana (martyr of Rome, S00591), sister of *Praxedes (martyr of Rome, S00142). |
