Editing Pope Linus (section)

==Legacy==
A tomb that [[Francesco Maria Torrigio|Torrigio]] discovered in [[Saint Peter's Basilica]] in 1615 and which was inscribed with the letters LINVS was assumed to be the tomb of Pope Linus. However, a note by Torrigio records that these were merely the final five letters of some unknown longer name, such as "Aquilinus" or "Anullinus". A letter on the martyrdom of Peter and Paul was attributed to Linus, but in fact it was determined to date to the 6th century.<ref name="kirsch"/> The ''[[Liber Pontificalis]]'' asserts that Linus was buried on the [[Vatican Hill]] adjacent to Peter the Apostle in what is now known as the [[Vatican Necropolis]] beneath [[Saint Peter's Basilica]] in Vatican City.{{sfn|Loomis|2006|p=6}}
