Titulus Crucis

Titulus Crucis

Titulus Crucis (Latin for "Title of the Cross") also known as "ogium"Fact|date=February 2007 is a relic kept in the church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome—the earlier palace of Helena of Constantinople—which the tradition claims in 1140 is half of the cross's titulus and a part of the True Cross.Fact|date=February 2007
Carsten Peter Thiede insisted that it is truly a part of the Cross, written by a Jewish scribe. He cites that the order of the languages match what is historically accurate and not the order shown in the New Testament because should it be phony, the forgerer would try to remain faithful to the text instead.

Authenticity

In 2002, the University of Arizona conducted carbon dating tests on the artifact, and it was shown to be made between 980 and 1146 AD. The carbon dating results were published in the peer-reviewed journal "Radiocarbon". [cite journal | author = Francesco Bella | coauthors = Carlo Azzi | date = | year = 2002 | month = | title = 14C Dating of the Titulus Crucis | journal = Radiocarbon | volume = 44 | issue = 3 | pages = 685–689| publisher = University of Arizona | location = | issn = 0033-8222 | url = https://digitalcommons.library.arizona.edu/holdings/journal/issue?r=http://radiocarbon.library.arizona.edu/Volume44/Number3/ | language = | format = | accessdate = | quote = ] The Titulus Crucis recovered from the residence of Helena is therefore most likely a mediaeval artifact; some have proposed that it is a copy of the now-lost original.

At the time of Egeria's visit the "title" was shown as one of the relics at Jerusalem in 383 : "A silver-gilt casket is brought in which is the holy wood of the Cross. The casket is opened and (the wood) is taken out, and both the wood of the Cross and the title are placed upon the table." [Latin original: ... et affertur loculus argenteus deauratus, in quo est lignum sanctum crucis, aperitur et profertur, ponitur in mensa tam lignum crucis quam titulus.(Itinerarium Egeriae 37,1)] The 6th century pilgrim Antoninus from Piacenza describes the Titulus in Jerusalem and its inscription: it said «Hic est rex Iudeaorum» (Here is the king of the Jews), while the one kept in Rome shows «Iesus Nazarenvs Rex Iudeaorum» (Jesus the Nazarene king of the Jews). [The Antoninii Placentini Itinerarium can be read in "Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina", vol. 175, 130]
