Catacomb of San Pancrazio
The Catacomb of San Pancrazio (also called of Ottavilla) is a catacomb of Rome (Italy), located in the Via Aurelia, within the modern ''Quartiere'' Gianicolense.
==The martyrs==
The catacomb is especially renown for the most famous martyr buried in it, Pancras from Phrygia, who came to Rome together with his uncle Dionysus after his parents' death and was decapitated in 304 after refusing to sacrifice to the gods. His body was abandoned on the Via Aurelia and was picked up by a Christian ''matrona'', Ottavilla, who buried him in the closest graveyard, that she probably owned. The cult of St. Pancras highly spread during the Middle Ages, so much so that the catacomb bearing his name was one of the few in Rome that could always be visited by the pilgrims. The first notice about the martyrdom of Pancras comes from the ''Martyrologium Hieronymianum'', that sets the date of the death at 12 May.
The ancient sources, particularly the Medieval itineraries for pilgrims, mention other martyrs buried within the catacomb: Artemy, Paulinus, Sophia and her three daughters Faith, Hope and Charity. The resting place of the last four martyrs can probably be identified with the so-called ''cubicle of St. Sophia''.
