text_original: HOW ROME WAS DEFENDED FROM THE SARACENS [848] BY ARCHIBALD BOWER [When Leo IV became Pope, in 844, he first restored to their former magnificence the churches of St. Peter and St. Paul, for they had been robbed by the Saracens of their ornaments, their gold and silver vessels, and their precious stones. He next set to work to build a new city on the Vatican and to inclose it with a wall.
