The article proposes an analysis of the tradition concerning Aquila and Priscilla; the titulus Priscae in Rome is probably connected nof with Aquila's wife, k,ut with the later Virgin and Martyr St. Prisca. We don't know whether the Aquila and the Priscilla who were buried in the catacombs of Priscilla can be identified with St. Paul's friends, but it is sure that these catacombs were possessed -at a very early date- by the Acilü Glabriones. They contain inscriptions from the Ilnd century AD onward, but perhaps there were Christian members of the family already in the Ist century: one of the Acilü Glabriones was a Roman senator who was put to death during Domitian's persecution; and it is highly probable that he was a Chrisfian.
