The Large Catacomb (Italian - catacomba maggiore) is a catacomb on the via Nomentana in the modern Trieste quarter of Rome. It is first mentioned in the 5th century Martyrologium Hieronymianum, which records that those martyred on 16 September were buried "in the large cemetery" (“in cimiterio maiore”) on via Nomentana, the name it also appears as in high medieval pilgrim itineraries.
