The details of Ignatius's journey from Antioch to Rome are found in "Martyrium Ignatii" ("The Martyrdom of Ignatius"), a document which scholars believe has some problems. By the middle ages, the number of the Ignatian Epistles had grown to 13, but those extra six are now thought to have been written by someone else, perhaps as early as the 6th century CE, but not by Ignatius. [4]:121 The Long Recension is the product of a fourth-century Arian Christian, who interpolated the Middle Recension epistles in order to posthumously enlist Ignatius as an unwitting witness in theological disputes of that age. They left Troas, went by foot to Epirus and then by ship to cross the Adriatic. [27] In 637 the relics were transferred to the Basilica di San Clemente in Rome. Instead of being executed in his home town of Antioch, Ignatius was escorted to Rome by a company of ten Roman soldiers: From Syria even unto Rome I fight with beasts, both by land and sea, both by night and day, being bound to ten leopards, I mean a band of soldiers... Scholars consider Ignatius' transport to Rome unusual, since those persecuted as Christians would be expected to be punished locally. He did not draw attention to his own suffering, but to the love of God which strengthened him. Being incorporeal, He was in the body, being impassible, He was in a passible body, being immortal, He was in a mortal body, being life, He became subject to corruption, that He might free our souls from death and corruption, and heal them, and might restore them to health, when they were diseased with ungodliness and wicked lusts. These publications stirred up tremendous, heated controversy in the scholarly community at the time,[4]:122 but today most scholars accept the authenticity of the seven original epistles. There are seven widely-accepted letters that Ignatius wrote on his way to be executed. Our father among the saints Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch (probably died AD 107) was the third bishop of Antioch, after the Apostle Peter and Euodios, whom Ignatius succeeded around AD 68. "The Martyrdom of Saint Ignatius," 16th century triptych showing scenes from Ignatius of Antioch's life and martyrdom. He wanted to address the multitudes in Troas, but the guards were finally impatient to get to Rome—the 123-day-long festivities planned by Trajan were wrapping up. Ignatius argued that if someone kept the Jewish Sabbath (on Saturday) rather than the "Lord's day" (on Sunday), they were denying that Christ died at all. Tradition places the martyrdom of Ignatius in the reign of Trajan, who was emperor of Rome from 98 to 117 AD. Stevan Davies has pointed out that "no other examples exist from the Flavian age of any prisoners except citizens or prisoners of war being brought to Rome for execution. There, they traveled on foot to Philadelphia, then to Smyrna, where they spent an extended time. Ignatius is the earliest known Christian writer to emphasize loyalty to a single bishop in each city (or diocese) who is assisted by both presbyters (priests) and deacons. Ignatius wanted to stop at Puteoli, where the apostle Paul of Tarsus (d. 67 CE) had lived, but a storm blew up and they had to pass on to Rome. [19] Furthermore, the epistles of Ignatius state that he was put in chains during the journey to Rome, but it was illegal under Roman law for a citizen to be put in bonds during an appeal to the emperor. Ignatius, who also called himself Theophorus ("God-bearer"), was most likely a disciple of both Apostles Peter and John.
