The founder was Pope Boniface VIII. As such, it is one of the very oldest universities in the world today. Sapienza was also the first pontifical university.

Article G32 in Pompeii is an epitaph from a tomb. As Cooley and Cooley (2004) point out, "inscriptions carved in stone on public and private monuments were intended to perpetuate the memory of the individuals concerned," (p. 1).
