The Ancient Appian Way Of Rome, Where
Brother Damiano Has Made His Re.
narkable Discoveries, as It
Looks To-day.

OF st. Peter, together with those Of st. Paul
were removed to vault on the Appian Way,
where the Basilica of st. Sebastian now
stands. p 'a' A
The remains Of st. Peter were later re-
stored to their former resting place at the
foot of the Vatican HILL and upon this sa-
cred site the emperor, Constantine the Great.
ordered the erection of magnificent church
dedicated to st. Peter. This stood until the
sixteenth century, when it was replaced by
the present Cathedral Of st. Peter. the great
est church in Christendom,. -.
The weight of evidence indicates that the
first centre Of Christian worship in Rome,
when st. Peter was teaching the new re-
ligion, was around the Church of st.
Sebastian, on the Appian Way. The
remains of: st. Peter and St. Paul
were certainly at one time preserved
in the church. The catacombs of the earli-
est period in this vicinity are those of
Calllstus, and Praetextatus. The Appian
Way, IN spite of its Importance, was
bordered by many obscure poor dwellings in
the imperial period and was therefore suit
able place for Christian converts Tt was the
highroad to Pompcii and Puteol and near
1t lived many stablemen and horse dealers,
who attended to the Romans who were trav-

The catacombs are honeycombed with gal

NINE of archaeological treasures About
one hundred feet from the catacomb were
found the foundations of a small stone
house. One of the stones bore the inscrip
ton, 'Domus Petri,' indicating that it had
been the home of st. Peter
The inscription had evidently been put
there by some early Christian, probably not
later than the second century A. D. It was
presumably placed on the house that had
actually been occupied by the Apostle in
order to mark it for the vcneration of later
generations. 1t is not likely that any mis-
take could have been made concerning the
Identity of the house at date so near the

From the chronicles of Eusebius and other
early fathers of the Church it is known that
st. Peter spent the last years of his life in
Rome, beginning perhaps as early as % Al d.

Traditions indicate that ST. Peter and St.
Paul occupied small house near the Ap-

Remains Of the Dwelling Where
the Chief Apostle Labored and
Ministered to the First Roman
Christians Unearthed Near
the Ancient App1an
Way by a
Franciscan Monk

TVTi1LE tho great war has been raging
w a franciscan monk, quietly work
ing in Rome, has discovered actual
remains Of the house of St. Peter and other
vestiges of the early years when the great
Apostle was building up the Church in the
Eternal City.
These discoveries are Of supreme interest
to all Christians and especially to Catholics.
The life and labors of St. Peter in Rome
form the most vital chapter in the early his.
tory OF the Church, but the records concern
ing them are very meagre This is not sur
prislng, because at the time st. Peter was
guiding the newborn Church its members
were hunted and despiscd, forced to carry
on their worship in secret underground
places and were subject to the dreadful per-
secutlon OF Nero, who put vast number Of
Christians, sometimes estimated as high as
100000, to death with horrible cruelties
The learned Franciscan monk, whose name
is Brother Damiano, was assigned few wears
ago to the Monastery of the Basilica of st.
Sebastian. This extremely ancient church
stands upon the Appian Way, that thor.
oughfare lined with ancient Roman tombs
and monuments, beneath which the first
Christians excavated their catacombs This
region is closely associated with traditions
of st. Peter.
Brother Damiano was thoroughly familiar
with the historical and archaeological writ
ings concerning the life of ST. Peter and st.
Paul in Rome. He knew the locality that
was indicated with much probability as the
place of their residence, but he wished to
discover, if possible, actual remains of the
buildings they had occupied. Day after day
he labored with his pick siftinp the soil
which is more laden with sacred and historic
treasures than any other in the world.
One day he struck a wall, and when he
had cleared away some Of the surrounding
earth glimpse of color met his joyful eyes.
Subsequent investigation proved that he had
found a very early forgotten catacomb of
the second century A. D. 1t was decorated
with sacred symbols and portraits of .apos-
ties, early saints and Christians, in remark
ably fresh and brilliant colors.

was met upon the Appian Way by figure
OF the Saviour bearing His cross.
st. Peter then asked, "Lord, whittier goest
thou9' to which the Saviour replied, II 60
to Rome to be crucified second time.' St.
Peter then fell to the earth, overcome with
remorse and penitence.
The memory of ST. Peter is also very
closely associated with the catacomb of ST.
Priscilla, on the Via Salaria, where, accord
ing to tradition, he instructed the faithful
and administered baptism. It was con.
cealed beneath the villa of an ancient Sena.

to Christianity.
