ID | Title | E02515 | The Latin Martyrdom of *Susanna (virgin and martyr of Rome, S00892) narrates Susanna’s resistance, with the help of her father Gabinius and her uncle *Gaius (bishop of Rome, S00661), to plans to marry her to Diocletian’s adoptive son Maximian; the conversions and martyrdom of her relatives *Claudius, Praepedigna, Alexander, Cutia, and Maximus (martyrs of Rome, S01440); Susanna’s martyrdom in Gaius’ house, her burial in the cemetery of Alexander. Commemorative services are celebrated in Gaius’ house at the place called ad duas domos. Written presumably in Rome at the titulus Gai, between c. 450 and the 8th c., perhaps before 550. |
