What began as a big project ­– “an endless project” ­– researching epigraphic poetry inscribed on churches and tombs, led Dennis Trout, professor of ancient Mediterranean studies at the University of Missouri, to a little annex building attached to the original church of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. In a lecture, hosted by the Honors College and Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Trout will open the door to the small memorial shrine and share what we can learn from it with respect to contemporary values and attitudes about the use of relics and the role the cult of the saints played in the lives of people between 500 CE and 1500 CE.
