(the sest where first sat Saint Peter, and
that the place was used for important
liturgical assemblies may he seen from
several f~rescoes discovered In the crypts
representing l~iturgical scenes such as the
breaking OF the bread and the giving Of a
veil 10 a consecrated virgin, which have
never been found In other cemeteries. Tho
name 'Petrls' is found inscribed. written
or scratched, on many s%epulghral tiles,
marble slabs and oven on the wells, and il
il does not refer to the first BiFhop Of Rome
Il must have some connection with the
persons he baptized, who as a rule bore
his name.
There Is a remarkable painting in the
catacomh Of St. Priscilla which deserves
special mention. It Is on the vaulted
roof Of a luculus and represents a woman
with a child, undoubtedly the Virgin and
the earliest representation OF the subject,
az It belongs almost 10 the Apostolic age.
The Virgin Ia seated, her head partly
covered by . short, light veil, and she is
holding the Holy Child in her arms. OPP
posite stands a man, clothed in the pellium,
holding a volume in one hand and with
the other pointing TO a star which appears
above and between the two figures. The
male figure Ia supposed 10 be the prophet
Isaias. whose p-c;hec'Ar -orrernirS the
Messleh' abound with imagery borrowed
from light. Hence the star.
In the chapels Of the catacomb a. well
as along It's galleries we're inferred the
bodies Of many saints besides those Of
seven Popes. viz. Marcellinus (SOO. Mar
oellus (S09). Sylvester 1885,, Diberius (3oe).
Siricius (S9o), Cplestinus (I32) and Viz
gilius $751; When pesce was restored
to the Church by Co~nsts ntine, Pope 81,
Sylvester erected = basilica over the cats-
comb, into Which manv bodies Of saints
were transferred from the galleries below
and there remained until the ninth century,
when they we're removed TO the uity.
