context_page_description: Titulus Crucis is a piece of wood kept in the Church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome which is claimed to be the titulus of the True Cross on which Jesus was crucified. It is venerated by some Catholics as a relic associated with Jesus. It is generally either ignored by scholars or considered to be a medieval forgery.
  The board is made of walnut wood, 25 × 14 × 2.6 cm and has a weight of 687 grams. It is inscribed on one side with three lines, of which the first is mostly destroyed. The second line is written in Greek letters and reversed script, the third in Latin letters, also with reversed script. The Latin reads Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, corresponding to John 19:19 and the initials INRI familiar to pious Catholics.
