The architectural survey is a living matter. The survey of a monument always entails the description of a work in progress. The survey is a critical operation whereby you can study, measure, and represent an architectural structure. In the case of Santa Prassede, there are at the moment 35 scans that cover most of the interior of the church. The other lateral chapels, the crypt, and the bell tower, which will be studied this year, are currently missing. The colour of the areas covered with mosaics will be also analysed. A high-resolution digital camera and homogeneous illumination will be used to avoid light variations in the chiaroscuro effects and in the shadows. Subsequent processing involves the elaboration of a geometric model (or solid model ). Once this model is built, the next step is the graphical analysis , that is, the decomposition of the architectural structure in coherent elements. It’s a sort of architectural reverse engineering, which, starting from the object as we see it, reconstructs the component elements, selecting them based on dating, material, and functionality. This is done in order to develop (but not only) a reconstructive hypothesis of the consistency of the monument over time.

Through a reinterpretation of the main Frankish and Roman sources useful for the reconstruction of the events related to the ponti cate of Pope Paschal I (817-824), the author proposes the hypothesis that this biography in the Liber Ponti calis was written both to answer some accusations made by opponents of the pope in the city and in the Carolingian world; whether the construction of the gure of Pasquale (monaco but also merciful ruler) may correspond to the characterization that in the same year is also used for the representation of the Emperor Louis the Pious. The author also indicates that inspiration for the rest of the research can promptly analyze these reports in order to clarify the in uences and cultural and ecclesiological implications.

Unconsciousness, speechlessness, and immobility were also often noted.An in-depth analysis shows many other unexpected signs. Some signs on peoples’ eyes, teeth or tongue could also be proof of death. Sometimes even tears or sweat on the forehead were considered as deadly signs. For some people, the position adopted by a dying person signified death, for instance, lying on one’s back or with the head laid down, as was the custom for the dead.
