Thanks for this enlightenment of St. Pauls Outside the Walls. You make a great case.

I was trying to understand what other critiques say about this building today. Was that information found in the paragraph with a cited work (Brandenburg 116) ?  It was not clear that this was an opinion of the author of this argument or of the books author.  I think the same is true about what people of the day may have thought. But it is difficult to find an opinion dating to the 3rd century!

Again thanks and I too feel this building is well worth keeping for posterity.
