The church was built soon after Constantine’s Edict over an original Christian titulus (a private home used as a meeting place by the faithful for prayers).
The titulus is still visible under the church and it’s a rare example of a 3rd-century domestic Christian church. It was rebuilt in the 9th century utilizing some antique columns, and radically altered in the 17th century.
The crypt contains relics of the martyrs. On the outside wall of the church are ruins from the Baths of Trajan into which the church was built.
