Catacombs of Generosa, Early Christian catacomb at Portuense district, Rome, Italy.
The Catacomb of Generosa extends across a single underground level within a hill along Via Portuense on the right bank of the Tiber River.
The catacomb served as the burial site for martyrs Simplicius and Faustinus until 682, when Pope Leo II transferred their relics to Santa Bibiana church.
The martyrs' crypt contains the Coronatio Martyrum fresco from the sixth century, depicting Christ presenting the crown of martyrdom to Simplicius.
Visitors can explore the catacomb through guided tours arranged by the Generosa Catacombs Committee at Via delle Catacombe di Generosa 57.
The archaeological complex includes both Christian tombs and a sacred precinct linked to the Arval Brethren, a Roman pagan priestly organization.
