Talk by J. B. Ward Perkins
Director of the British School in Rome
The speaker recently visited the excavations that have been carried out since 1940 underneath St. Peter's in Rome on and around the traditional site of St. Peter's tomb. He describes the Roman cemetery found under the Basilica of Constantine (the building that preceded the present church), and examines such evidence as has come to light on the question of whether the Apostle was buried there.
