Title A name given to the resource Staircase Martyrium in Ss. Giovanni e Paolo, Caelian Hill, Rome Description An account of the resource This image is the front-facing view of the martyrium built in the late 4th century by Pammachius and Paulina at the top of a renovated landing of their house on the Caelian Hill, meant for their private devotion. The house later converted into Ss. Giovanni e Paolo Church. While it is uncertain to whom the reliquary was dedicated, Ana Munk supports the theory, based on the martyrdom scenes associated with it, the shrine was dedicated to Ss. Crispo, Crispiano, and Benedetta (right). This shrine best exemplifies the continuation of domestic devotion among late antique Christians, such as among this wealthy Roman, senatorial family. Given that Pammachius died before the Sack of Rome in 410, the shrine was probably constructed between 385, when Pammachius married Paulina, and his death in 410.

Title A name given to the resource Dance of the Four Seasons Mosaic, Ss. Giovanni e Paolo, Caelian Hill, Rome Description An account of the resource Created in the late 3rd century, after the consolidation of this domus but before the arrival of the pious senator Pammachius and his wife, this mosaic, in the "Room of the Nude Genii," depicts the dance of the Four Seasons personified, surrounded by putti serenely gathering a harvest of grapes. This image, among others in this house on the Caelian Hill, best exemplifies how traditional, aristocratic Roman ideology, steeped in the benign concept of the agricultural wealth of nature, could be retained by early Christians. The need for this kind of shared Roman heritage was especially true, given the role of the aristocratic house as the presentation of their "public" Roman persona. Placed alongside the private devotional cult in the stairwell, Roman imagery such as this renders more multilayered the overall worldview of Roman Christians.

Title A name given to the resource Mosaic Depicting Paulina and possibly Rufina, her younger sister Description An account of the resource Paulina, as matriarch of the household and probably motivator behind the construction of this private space, beckons the observer to worship with her outstretched arm. This image was located in the lower register of the right side of the shrine and underscores the intimate nature of household piety. A confidant of St Jerome, Paulina was part of a family of holy women, including her two sisters Blessila and Eustochium and her mother. Interestingly, Rufina, depicted here, was not listed by Jerome as saints.

Title A name given to the resource Apis Bull Mosaic, Ss. Giovanni e Paolo, Caelian Hill, Rome Description An account of the resource Like the Mosaic of the Four Seasons, this mosaic depicting most likely the popular cult of the Romanized Apis Bull was not whitewashed when Pammachius' family gained the household. Quite popular in the 4th century, and part of Rome's many acceptable cults, Munk plausibly suggests the senator left the image up as a concession to his pagan uncle Lampadius. As a venerable cult image, the Apis Bull underscores, more than the image of the Four Seasons even, the complexities of private devotion in late antique Rome. Apparently a devoutly Christian aristocratic couple felt comfortable with this concession in their own home.

After the death of his wife, Pammachius withdrew from "the world," leaving the public world of the Roman aristocracy, and practiced a semi-monastic lifestyle in his home.

Ostia in Late Antiquity. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2016. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Description An account of the resource Dated somewhere between the second and fourth centuries, this apotropaic amulet from Ostia exemplifies the eclectic, pragmatic, and individual nature of late antique devotion. The amulet would be worn either as a pendant or around the neck. The amulet was inscribed with an invocation of "Solomon," borrowed Jewish legend and having become known among most in the Mediterranean as a powerful magician. Solomon may or may not be represented in the figure, carrying a wand or staff, placed alongside a healing caduceus. However, the back clearly shows three priestesses of Hecate surrounded by stars. They are either positively associated with serpents as symbols of healing and fertility or apotropaically trampling them. On either side are stylized constellations. The wearer might not have been aware of all the cultural origins of the symbols, which had by this time entered a magical koine. "Solomon" might have been included merely for his magical associations and associations with foreignness par excellence. Mere invocation of an exotic Jewish feel possessed imaginative power. Hence these signs from different cultures could be recombined into a system of magical power. For the textual equivalent of such pragmatic eclecticism in late antiquity in spells and invocations, see the collection of so-called Papyri Graecae Magicae (PGM), or "Greek Magical Papyri," which date widely between the second century BCE and fifth century CE. These, like the Ostian amulet, include free associations of gods and concepts from many Mediterranean cultures, all in the Hellenistic milieu, including Mesopotamia, Palestine, Egypt, and Greece.
