Pope Benedict XVI medallion
Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls
Piazzale San Paolo
Rome, May 2011

“After the fire of 1823, Gregory XVI requested that the chronological series of papal medallions, characteristic of the Basilica, be reproduced in mosaic. The old medallions that survived the fire are currently preserved in the monastery.” (From the 5th to the 8th Century, The Basilica, Vatican Official Web Site)
