Más información sobre el libro

Basilica di San Clemente is one of the many churches of Rome. But more than that, it is a sacred place of great archaeological and historical significance--and a site filled with mystery. In the last two centuries much has been learned about the centuries-old basilica and its namesake, St. Clement, a first-century Christian. Yet, questions remain; among them: Were the first-century Christians of Basilica di San Clemente the original recipients of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans? What connections were there between St. Clement and St. Paul and their writings? How does Basilica di San Clemente bridge the history of Christianity in the East and West? Does Basilica di San Clemente sit atop an ancient Roman mint? What is the connection between Basilica di San Clemente and Mithraism?
