It is an interesting testimony to the anarchy then prevalent in the Roman campagna that John VIII laments that the conspirators, in escaping through the Porta S. Pancrazio on the Janiculum, left the gate unlocked, thus leaving the city vulnerable to infestation by the Saracens who controlled much of the countryside outside the walls.
