Christ Between Peter and Paul
Fourth century
Catacomb of Saints Marcellinus and Peter on the Via Labicana
"This cemetery is also called 'ad duos Lauros' from the ancient name of the locality which is at the third milestone on Via Labicana; and sometimes 'Sub Augusta' since it is near to an imperial villa belonging to Constantine.
"Here are buried the martyrs, Marcellinus the priest and Peter the exorcist, celebrated by pope Damasus (366-384) in a poem written in their honour, and placed near to their tomb. The pope attested to having heard the story of their martyrdom from the mouth of the executioner himself, 'Tuos triumphos percussor retulit Damaso mihi cum puer essem'. Christ with the book of the Gospels is seated between Peter and Paul. Below, the Lamb is standing in the centre on a hill, from which flow out the four symbolic rivers of Scripture. To the sides are the most venerated Martyrs, with their names: Gorgonius, Peter, Marcellinus, Tiburtius, all acclaiming the Lamb."
