Catacomb of Calepodius

The Catacomb of Calepodius is one of the Catacombs of Rome, notable for containing the tombs of Pope [Callixtus I] and Pope Julius I, along with the eponymous Calepodius.

Prominent interments

Callixtus I was interred in the Catacomb of Calepodius, instead of that which bears his name, allegedly because the latter was under surveillance of the emperor's guards; this legend as well as that of Callixtus I's martyrdom is unlikely as there was no persecution of Christians under Alexander Severus, the emperor when Callixtus I died. However, Julius I erected a more elaborate tomb of Callixtus I in the catacomb in the fourth century, decorated with frescos of his alleged martyrdom. This tomb was discovered in 1960, although the relics were likely translated to Santa [Maria in Trastevere] in 790 by Pope Adrian I due to the impending Lombard invasion.
The only other papal tomb in the Catacomb of Calepodius was that of Pope Julius I, who was translated with Callixtus I to Santa Maria in Trastevere. Calepodius, the early Christian martyr eponymous with the Catacomb was translated with the two pontiffs.
