picta imago martyris, images, hymns IX and X, PrudentiusAbstract
The author deals with hymns IX and XI from the collection Peristephanon by Prudentius. On the basis o f a detailed analysis of these poems he has been able to establish that the real source of hymn IX, devoted to St. Cassianus’ death at Forum Cornelium, was a painting that showed his martyrdom. As far as hymn XI, devoted to St. Hippolytus’ martyrdom, is concerned it can be assumed that its original source was verbal tradition and the painting from the Roman tomb of the Saint constituted a complement for the poet.
