The Oratory of the Forty Martys is a church in Rome located in the Roman Forum, south of the ancient Fonte di Giuturna. The original building is from the Trajan era and was transformed into a church by adding a small apse. Dedicated to the forty Christian soldiers martyred in Armenia under Diocletian, it preserves on the back wall a fresco dating back to the VIII century.
