The epitaphs carved in marble and set up around the city of Rome by Damasus I (366-
384) have long been understood as important in the political and ecclesiastic history of
the city and as crucial in the development of its Christian martyr-cult. I have applied
principles of collective memory and material culture theories in order to discuss the role
of the epitaphs as physical vehicles of cultural value and self-conception for the post-
Constantinian Christian community at Rome. / Graduate
