	Mamertine Prison
		The lower, known as the Tullianum, was probably built originally as a cistern, whence its name, which is derived from the archaic Latin word tullius, a jet of water -- the derivation of Varro from the name of King Servius Tullius is erroneous.
		In the floor of the Tullianum is a well, which, according to the legend, miraculously came into existence while St. Peter was imprisoned here, enabling the Apostle to baptize his jailers, Sts.
		Processus and Martinianus relative to the imprisonment of St. Peter in the Tullianum was universally accepted; the earliest allusion to the prison in the character of a church is that of Maffeo Veggio, in the fifteenth century, who speaks of it as "S. Petrus in carcere" (St. Peter in prison).

	Wikinfo \| Mamertine Prison
		The Mamertine Prison (also referred to as the Tullianum) was a prison (Carcer) located in the Forum Romanum in Ancient Rome.
		The name "Tullianum" supposedly comes from the King Tullus Hostilius or possibly King Servius Tullius (the latter supported by Livy, Varro, and also Sallust).
		They usually remained in the Tullianum until either they were taken out and executed or until they died by natural causes within the jail.

	Ancus Marcius the king conqueror (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		With all the war prisoners deported by the Romans and with the new increase of crimes in Rome, this king decided to build the Tullianum, which was the first prison of Rome.
		We know from the latin writer Sallust, who lived in the first century AD how the Tullianum was (also known as Mamertine prison): the place was so horrible and with a terrible smell that the prisoners preferred more to suicide themselves than to be jailed inside of it.
		The Tullianum, known familiarly as Mamertine prison is located on the bottom west side of the Capitol hill under the church of saint Joseph the Carpenter.

	Carcer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The underground area of the prison was called the Tullianum where executions occurred when they were not a public display.
		In early days, this lower level was probably a spring house, hence the name Tullianum from the Latin tullus (spring).
		According to tradition, St. Peter and Paul were confined here during the reign of Nero and reputedly St. Peter called up the waters of the spring to baptize his jailers.

		And according to legends already circulating in republican Rome, the carcer was built as a prison by Rome's fourth king, Ancus Marcius and then the lower chamber, the "tullianum", was dug below the carcer during the reign of the sixth king, Servius Tullius, and took its name from him.
		The tullianum chamber clearly existed before the upper carcer.
		It originally was circular and probably was constructed as a cistern around the still flowing spring in its floor (the Latin word tullus means spring.

		In some fanciful but typical etymologies, the Romans connected the name carcer to their word for "compel" (coercere), and explained that the name of the lower level, the "Tullianum," was given because it was added to the original Carcer by King Servius Tullius.
		Cicero (In Verrem 5.77) notes that distinguished prisoners of war were executed in the Carcer after they had been displayed in a Roman general's triumphal parade as far as the base of the Capitoline Hill.
		Sallust (Catiline 55.2-6) describes the interior of the Tullianum in his own day (40s BCE): "In the Carcer there is a place, which is called the Tullianum; where you go up to the left, sunken into the ground about twelve feet.

	Newman Reader - Callista - Chapter 33
		Then he came out, and the præco read it:—Callista, a senseless and reprobate woman, is hereby sentenced to be thrown into the Tullianum; then to be stretched on the equuleus; then to be placed on a slow fire; lastly, to be beheaded, and left to the dogs and birds.
		In the floor of this inner prison was a sort of trap-door, or hole, opening into the barathrum, or pit, and called, from the original prison at Rome, the Tullianum.
		After the sentence, on the second day, she was let down, as the commencement of her punishment, that is, of her martyrdom, into the loathsome Barathrum, lacus, or pit, called Tullianum, there to lie for another twenty hours before she was brought out to the equulous or rack.

	Mamertine Prison, Rome
		In the lower chamber, also known as the Tullianum (after a water cistern), we are told by the Roman historians that the Numidian king Jugurtha (140 B.C.), the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix (46 B.C.) and Catiline's fellow conspirators were confined.
		According to Christian tradition the Apostles Peter and Paul were also imprisoned here, and during his confinement Peter is said to have baptized the other prisoners with water from the Tullianum spring.
		Accordingly the chapel which was later constructed in the prison was named San Pietro in Carcere (St Peter in Prison).

		Vercingetorix was the Gaelic leader who heroically fought the invasion of Celtic Gaul by the Romans in the 1st century BC.
		He was defeated and imprisoned for six years in the Tullianum, known as The Pit of Dread, a stone cell under Rome.
		His only contact with the outside world was through a small hole in the top of the pit and those occasions when he was paraded through the streets to be pelted with insults and garbage.

	La struttura del 'Tullianum'
		La scala che scende al Tullianum è stata aperta in età moderna tagliando in parte la parete curvilinea, costruita in blocchi squadrati di peperino disposti in filari che si restringono progressivamente verso l'alto.
		Da notare il particolare costruttivo del sovrapporsi delle murature del sovrastante Carcer sull'ultimo filare di blocchi del Tullianum.
		In età repubblicana la parete esterna fu in parte smantellata per costituire il piano di fondazione del fronte in tufo del Carcer visibile anche all’interno del Tullianum (parete rettilinea).

		iv 32] tells us that the Tullianum was also named "Lautumiae," from some quarries in the neighborhood; or, as others think, in allusion to the "Lautumiae" of Syracuse, a prison cut out of the solid rock.
		The carcer of which we are treating was chiefly used as a place of confinement for persons under accusation, till the time of trial; and also as a place of execution, to which purpose the Tullianum was specially devoted.
		Livy also [xxix 22] speaks of a conspirator being delegatus in Tullianum, which in another passage [xxxiv 44] is otherwise expressed by the words in inferorem demissus carcerem, necatusque.
