Мощевик с мощами Св. мученика Романа Римского

Oval glass-fronted silver pendant reliquary theca housing the first-class ex ossibus (of the bone) relic of Saint Romanus Ostiarius, Martyr of Rome.  A substantial relic is affixed to a gilt-paper starburst on a ground of salmon-colored silk, surrounded by silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Oss. S. Romani Mil. & M.  (of the bone of Saint Romanus, Soldier & Martyr). On the back, the theca is secured with a seal of red Spanish wax bearing an imprint of a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Maria Ginori (†1775), Bishop of Fiesole, Italy (1736–1775).

Saint Romanus Ostiarius, Martyr of Rome (+258), was a Roman legionary who converted to Christianity while assisting Saint Lawrence at his martyrdom. During the martyrdom of St Deacon Lawrence, Romanus had a vision of an angel to relieve his agony and decided to request baptism. Romanus, trying to act secretly, approached the deacon with a pitcher of water, and he baptized him. St. Romanus was immediately seized and severely beaten. Then, after he publicly declared that he was a Christian, Saint Romanus was taken to the Salt Gate and beheaded on 9 August 258, during the persecution of Emperor Valerian I. His relics are located in Rome, Lucca, Ferrara, and Avella. St. Romanus is venerated as the patron saint of Monaco, and his feast day is commemorated on 9 August.
