PALIANO, CIMITERO DI

Italian original Cite

PALIANO, Cemetery of. - Ancient Christian cemetery in the district of S. Quirico, near P., that is, at the 36th mile of the Via Prenestina.

In 1914 an ancient underground Christian cemetery came to light, consisting of a main gallery with loculi and formae, for the most part closed by tiles, and of a smaller gallery with three arcosolia. O. Marucchi read there 19 inscriptions, mostly scratched on the lime; one in marble with the consular date of the year 341; two others scratched, one of 355 commemorating a uvar diaconi, the other of the year 400. Outside the underground area an epitaph of the year 420 was collected.
