The Catacomb of Calepodius (also called the Cemetery of Calepodius) is one of the Catacombs of Rome, notable for containing the tombs of Pope Callixtus I (ironically, the creator of the Catacomb of Callixtus, which once contained the tombs of a dozen other popes) and Pope Julius I, along with the eponymous Calepodius.
[2] However, Julius I erected a more elaborate tomb of Callixtus I in the catacomb in the fourth century, decorated with frescos of his alleged martyrdom.
[2] This tomb was discovered in 1960, although the relics were likely translated to Santa Maria in Trastevere in 790 by Pope Adrian I due to the impending Lombard invasion.
[2] The only other papal tomb in the Catacomb of Calepodius was that of Pope Julius I (337–352), who was translated with Callixtus I to Santa Maria in Trastevere.
[3] Calepodius, the early Christian martyr eponymous with the Catacomb was translated with the two pontiffs.
