Titulus Crucis (Latin "Title of Cross") also known as ogium is a relic kept in the church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in Rome - the earlier palace by Helena of Constantinople - which the tradition claims in 1140 is the half of titulus and a part of the True Cross. Also believed by many critics to be a medieval forgery, Carsten Peter Thiede insisted that it is truly a part of the Cross, written by a Jewish scribe. He cites that the order of the languages match what is historically accurate and not the order shown in the New Testament because should it be phony, the forgerer would try to remain faithful to the text instead.
