Catacombs of Saint Agnes
The Catacomb of Saint Agnes ((イタリア語:Catacombe di Sant'Agnese)) is one of the catacombs of Rome, placed at the second mile of via Nomentana, inside the monumental complex of Sant'Agnese fuori le mura, in the Quartiere Trieste.
==Toponym==
The name of the catacomb derives from the virgin and martyr Saint Agnes, the only martyr buried in this catacomb that is mentioned in the ancient documents. The date of her martyrdom is uncertain, but it can be referred to one of the persecutions against Christians of the 3rd century and in particular the ones ordered by Decius (249-251), Valerian (257-260) or Diocletian (303-305).
The most ancient literary testimony is the ''Depositio martyrum'' (first half of 4th century): it tells that her ''dies natalis'' (i.e. the day of her death) is January 21 and that she was buried in the graveyard on Via Nomentana, that the ''Depositio'' dedicates to her. These informations are confirmed by the poem of Pope Damasus I (366-384), engraved on a marble plate by his dal suo calligraphist Furius Dionisius Filocalus: this plate, reused as a paving stone and casually doscovered, is now placed into the narthex of the basilica di Sant'Agnese fuori le mura. Other eminent testimonies about the life of martyr Agnes are given by the writings of some Church Fathers: ''De virginibus'' and the hymn ''Agnes beatae virginis'' by Saint Ambrose, and the ''Liber Peristephanon'' by Prudentius. The ''“Passio sanctae Agnetis”'', that blends the previous testimonies with doxologic and hagiographic purposes, was written in the 5th century.
