Sergius was an active restorer and embellisher of Roman churches, including St Peter's, St Paul's, and his own Sta Susanna. One of his first works ( 8 June 688 ) was to remove the remains of Leo the Great from their...

A Roman inscription mentions a Sergius Paulus holding office in Rome under Claudius at about the right date to be Luke's proconsul; the family also seems to have a connection with Pisidia ( Nobbs 1994 : 89 ). Educated Romans had a particular interest in divination, and it was not uncommon for a wealthy senator such as Sergius Paulus to keep a soothsayer as part of his household. For Luke, of course, it is obvious from his failure to recognize the truth of...
