[Sidenote: Year of Christ 223. _The Acts of_ Urbanus _fabulous_.] All I can find in the Antients concerning _Urban_, the Successor of _Callistus_, is, that, during the whole Time of his Pontificate, both Church and State enjoyed a profound Peace under the Emperor _Alexander_; that he held the Chair near Seven Years, and died about the Middle of the Year 230[321]. Great and wonderful Things are related of him in his Acts, and in those of St. _Cecilia_, but such Acts[322] are evidently fabulous, since, in Opposition to all the Antients, they represent the Emperor _Alexander_ as a most cruel Persecutor of the Christian Name. _Urban_ himself is supposed to have suffered under him, and placed accordingly by the Church of _Rome_ among her Martyrs. His Body is now worshiped in an Abbey of his Name in the Diocese of _Chalons_ on the _Marne, and in the Church of St._ Cæcilia _at_ Rome[323]. ----- Footnote 321: Euseb. l. 6. c. 26.
