Ancient iconography of Paul is dominated by one image: Paul as
martyr. Whether he is carrying a sword--the traditional instrument
of his execution--or receiving a martyr's crown from Christ, the
apostle was remembered and honored for his faithfulness to the
point of death. As a result, Christians created a cult of Paul,
centered on particular holy sites and characterized by practices
such as the telling of stories, pilgrimage, and the veneration of
relics. This study integrates literary, archaeological, artistic,
and liturgical evidence to describe the development of the Pauline
cult within the cultural context of the late antique West.
