ROME
Santi Nereo e Achilleo
Via della Terme di Caracalla 28
St Peter, after escaping from prison, was fleeing the city when he
lost a bandage from his wounds. This church was built where the bandage
fell and later rededicated to the 1st century AD martyrs St Nereus and
St Achilleus. Many of the frescoes here dated from 9th century AD.
Most depicted how the Apostles were martyred.
