Life

Antiochus of Anastasiopolis was a Christian of Ancyra who, in the persecution of Diocletian, around the year 303, was martyred at Anastasiopolis in Galatia (today in Turkey), after his brother Plato of Ancyra. He has long been honoured by Catholics and Orthodox as a holy martyr, perhaps together with Cyriacus, who is said to have declared himself a Christian on seeing a miracle at his beheading and was killed too. The feast is on 16 July.
