San Pietro a Corte - Epigrafe di Albulus

sketchfab

Burial, dated to 629, of Albulus, a young man about whom nothing is known beyond the epitaph, which however assumes particular significance in that it presents one of the typical imprecations of the time against whoever desecrated the tomb in search of precious objects: "Here enjoys eternal rest the pleasant memory of Albulo lived for approximately thirty-five years, laid to rest on May 21st during the second indiction while our Lord Heraclius Perpetual Augustus reigned in the year previously mentioned. If anyone violates this place may he suffer the fate of Judas." The epitaph is located in the Crypt of the Complex Monumental of San Pietro a Corte
