The city of Rome guided me to this project. Wandering through Rome\u2014one of my favorite pastimes\u2014led me to puzzle about the city\u2019s many saintly presences. On the Tiber Bend, for example, we find, in close vicinity, churches for the marvelous wonder-worker St. George, the soldier-saint Theodore and, conveniently close to the Tiber, for St. Nicholas, a bishop with a reputation for assisting travelers in distress.<a name=\"_ednref1\" href=\"#_edn1\">[i] <\/a>All three of these saints are \u2018saints from abroad\u2019, that is, saints who, according to their hagiographical legends, lived and died in locations outside of Rome.

In the words of Ferdinand Gregorovius\u2019 magisterial (1869-1872) <em>History of the City of Rome in the Middle Ages<\/em>, a new Rome \u2018rose again from out of the catacombs, her subterranean arsenal\u2019, her Empire \u2018transformed into an ecclesiastical system, with the pope as its center.\u2019<a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]<\/a> But when we look <em>within <\/em>the city walls we find that the new spiritual topography was shaped, as much, if not more, by saints from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The period I\u2019ve considered is from roughly the 6<sup>th <\/sup>to 9<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. This isn\u2019t because saints from abroad weren\u2019t present in the city beforehand. Already the earliest list of saints venerated in Rome, the mid-5<sup>th<\/sup>-century <em>Depositio Martyrum<\/em>, includes North African saints: St. Cyprian and Sts. Perpetua and Felicita.<a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]<\/a> Nor, of course, does the introduction of saints from abroad come to a halt in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> century. However, the reason to focus on the period from shortly before the \u2018reconquest\u2019 of Italy by Justinian\u2019s armies in the mid-6<sup>th<\/sup> centuries through the 8<sup>th<\/sup> century is that this was a period in which Rome was still very much part of the \u2018Byzantine\u2019 world of the Eastern Mediterranean. Correspondingly, saints who belonged to the \u2018cultural <em>koine<\/em>\u2019 of the late antique\/early medieval Mediterranean world readily settled in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story I\u2019ve tried to piece together is how and why these saints were settled in Rome and what impact they had on the city. It is a story of Byzantine administrators and Roman ecclesiastics, but also of communities of immigrants and Romans, their names long forgotten, who patronized saints from abroad for the protection and support these saints offered. Fragmentary as the evidence is, it helps wrench us away from an image of a monolithic papal Rome that grew out of its own \u2018native\u2019 sanctity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of these saints in Rome reflect their patrons\u2019 Mediterranean horizons. Once in Rome their legends maintained the memory of the far-flung locations from which they were purported to originate, adding particular inflexion to the city. Moreover, these saints, just like their Roman counterparts, were in dialogue with the monumental Roman past into which they entered, imbuing it with new Christian meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take St. Hadrian. According to his <em>passio<\/em>, St. Hadrian was an administrator who converted to Christianity and was martyred in Nicomedia. His relics were said to have been brought to Constantinople soon after his death. What better location in Rome for a Constantinopolitan administrator-saint than the Senate House!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"321\" height=\"231\" data-id=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2017\/02\/SenateHouse.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2017\/02\/SenateHouse.png 321w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/medievalstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/339\/2017\/02\/SenateHouse-300x216.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Reconstruction of the Interior of the Senate house: UCLA Digital Forum.

The marble revetment and benches where the senators had once sat remained in place.
