Here he was in great danger during the siege of the castle by the Electors of Trier, Palatinate and Hesse. The soldiers brought Aquila the first piece of bullet shot in by the enemy to baptize them because they believed that the place could not be conquered. Aquila rejected the idea, and since he did not allow himself to be moved by threats, they put him in a fire mortar filled with powder to shoot him beyond the wall. Fortunately, the powder did not ignite, and Aquila was pulled out again and let him run" (ADB I, 509). Luther particularly appreciates him as a zealous collaborator in his Bible translation. - An upper corner with a faded edge of moisture.
