The grave of Romulus, the presbyter of the title of Pudentiana.

Discussion:

According to Rüpke, "the title of Pudentiana" is mentioned for the first time instead of "titulus Pudentis" in an inscription from AD 384, so this is probably the terminus post quem for the epitaph of Romulus. The editors date it for the 5th century, without clear arguments for it.
