The city had a flourishing market, and was defended by a line of walls with 18 towers and b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Catacombs Of Saint Agnes
The Catacomb of Saint Agnes ( it, 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 later supposedly taking place in the beginning of the 4th century. 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 'birth' into heaven{{cite web, url=http://wdtprs.com/blog/2017/01/21-january-st-agnes-shining-with-the-fire-of-divine-love/55152607/, title=21 January St. ...

People From Tolmezzo
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural ...

English College, Rome
