Life

Saint Archelaus is honoured in the West as a saint of the first Christian centuries; the sources consulted say nothing about his life. The Western Orthodox calendar remembers, on 23 August, an Archelaus, deacon from Ostia in Italy, martyred around 235 with Bishop Quiriacus and the priest Maximus and a number of Christian soldiers under the emperor Alexander Severus; the sources do not confirm whether this is the same person.
