ID | Title | E00358 | Three versions of the Greek Martyrdom of *Ioustinos, Chariton, Charito, Euelpistos, Hierax, Paion, Liberianos and their companions (martyrs of Rome, S00930) recount the interrogation and martyrdom of seven Christians in Rome, under the leadership of Ioustinos, who may be identical with the apologist and martyr *Iustinus/Justinus (c. 100-165, S01140). The text probably originates from a pre-Constantinian account. | E08361 | Fourteen relic labels discovered within the Sancta Sanctorum of the Lateran church of San Lorenzo in Palatio (Rome), datable by their script to the 7th or 8th c., for relics of various saints. One label claims that its relics have come from the monastery of Lérins (southern Gaul). Written in Latin, perhaps at Rome, or at an earlier stage in their transmission. |
