“…Scattered across the city's neighbourhoods, the tituli began as privately-funded ecclesiastical foundations by wealthy lay and clerical patrons in post-Constantinian Rome. 121 Their name and existence derives from Roman law.

La décoration de l'abside, à en croire une inscription lue au xvii e siècle, avait été commanditée par les mêmes prêtres Leopardus et Ilicius, mais elle ne fut achevée qu'en 398, voire au début du pontificat d'Innocent I (401-417) 4 .…”
