Life
Saint Amplia the Martyr is commemorated on 12 February (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Prima, Ampelius, Dativus, Plotinus, Saturninus, Fabius and Felix, with those who suffered together with them. The English calendar says that they were put to death by the sword at Carthage, in Africa, in the year 304. Their names also stand in the Roman Martyrology; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.
The sources consulted give no other details about his life or suffering.
