E02509The Latin Martyrdom of *Restitutus (martyr of the via Numentana near Rome, S01446) narrates Restitutus’ trial, imprisonment, miraculous freeing of prisoners, death by beheading, and burial in a crypt at the 16th milestone on the via Nomentana, where miracles happen. An appendix narrates the translation of the body next to the church of St Andrew in Aurisarius in the time of Pope Hadrian, probably Hadrian I (771-795). Written at an uncertain place and date, by the late 9th or early 10th c. at the latest.
