Identification

The cymatium at the top shows Jesus between Saint Peter and Saint Paul.[2] The saints in the main panel Denis on the left and a martyr with a palm on the right, but it is not known for certain who the latter is - the museum itself identifies him as Victor,[3] but the Fondazione Federico Zeri catalogue has him as Eleutherius.[2]
