GRAFFITI DEVOZIONALI ED EPIGRAFI MONUMENTALI DELLA CATACOMBA DI S. IPPOLITO SULLA VIA TIBURTINA A ROMA: STATUS QUAESTIONIS

Flavio Pallocca

Abstract


In this paper will be analysed the main epigraphic manifestations in relation to the St. Hippolytus venerated
tomb in the Via Tiburtina catacomb, in Rome. The early modern rediscoveries of cultic graffiti as well as
“apparatus inscriptions”, presented as a status quaestionis, prove to be an excellent tool for reconstructing
the monumental and devotional phases of St. Hippolytus’ shrine.
