Shocking Secret About Ancient People: The Body of The Maп Who Wore The Most Gold: “The Kiпg of A Forgotten Dynasty”
They were called The Catacomb Saints – the corpses of ancient Romans unearthed from the catacombs of Rome, given fictitious names, and sent abroad as relics of saints from the 16th to the 18th centuries. They are lavishly decorated, as you can see below.
But why? Why they are so luxuriously adorned? Were they really buried like this, or has something else happened?

Well, they weren’t saints in the strict sense, although some of them may have been early Christian martyrs. During the 15th century, Western Europe was shaken by the storm known as Beeldenstorm – the “wrath of the statue” – a term referring to a wave of religious image destruction. In these turbulent times, Catholic art and many forms of church decoration were destroyed in informal acts by crowds.
When Catholic churches were systematically stripped of their emblems, the Vatican devised an unusual solution. They ordered thousands of skeletons to be excavated from the catacombs beneath Rome and installed in towns across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Few, if any, of these corpses belonged to people of religious significance, but they were decorated as if they were saints.
These skeletons became a ghastly symbol of Catholicism in areas dominated by Protestantism. It’s unclear how effective this move was, but by the 19th century, the Catacomb Saints had become an embarrassing symbol of past religious tensions.
Although considered imitations and prohibited from being sold, some priests still made money shipping the skeletons around the country for blessings.
In 1803, the secular magistrate of Rottenbuch in Bavaria auctioned off the town’s two saints. Nearly 174 years later, in 1977, the town’s residents raised funds to have them returned. By then, most of the Catacomb Saints had been forgotten and cast aside.
However, they returned to the spotlight in 2013 when Paul Koudounaris revived interest in them with his new book, where he aimed to photograph and document every one of the Catacomb Saints. It’s unclear if he succeeded, but he certainly managed to bring them back into the public eye. He explains:
“They have to be handled by people who have taken a sacred oath to the church. These people are supposed to be martyrs, and no one else is allowed to handle them. They symbolize the victory of faith and are canonized as saints in their cities. One reason they are so important is not just for their spiritual worth, which is incredible, but for their social significance.”
As time has passed, their meanings have evolved, shifting from religious symbols to symbols of civic pride. “They were meant to be miracles, strengthening people’s relationships with their towns,” Koudounaris added. “No modern-day value can be placed on these skeletons.”
