Life

Apollonius of Rome was, according to the Spanish Wikipedia, a Roman priest and martyr, venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. The dates of his birth and death are disputed. He is linked with several companions in martyrdom, up to five, whose bodies were thrown into the sea, then recovered and buried with honour. The only certain facts are his existence, his priesthood, his link with Alexandria and his martyrdom. His feast is on 10 April in our record, while the Spanish source gives 21 April.
