Detail InformationEdit

San Teodoro is 6th century church in Rome. It was given to the Orthodox community of Rome by Pope John Paul II in 2004. It is dedicated to Theodore of Amasea, and is located on an ancient route between the Roman Forum and Forum Boarium along the north-west foot of the Palatine Hill.
It may First have been built early as the 6th century in the ruins of the granaries of Agrippa. The unusual round shape suggests it may have been built into the ruined shell of a temple similar in construction to the well-preserved nymphaeum once identified as a Temple of Minerva Medica. An ancient pagan altar may be seen in the atrium in front of the church, and a Christian mosaic of that date has been found on the site.
The apse mosaic certainly dates to the 6th century, and shows Christ (in black clothing with gold lati clavi, indicating high rank on Roman garments) seated on an orb representing the heavens, flanked by Peter and Paul and by the two martyrs Theodore (a later addition, from Nicholas V’s restoration) and Cleonicus.
Pope John Paul II announced in November 2000 that he was allowing the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and the Greek Orthodox community in Rome to use the church, with the official inauguration occurring on 1 July 2004, presided over by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople.
At the back of the atrium outside the church is an ossuary, where you can see stacked skulls and bones through a grille. The Capitoline Wolf was kept in this church until the 16th century.
