Crispulus
A martyr, remembered in the ancient martyrologies of the Church.
Life
Saint Crispulus was a martyr and saint of Sardinia, killed around 130 at Porto Torres (Turris). He was a companion of Saint Gabinus; both are said to have been brought to the faith by the passion of Saint Antiochus of Sulci, who died a martyr about 110 on the island of Sulci off the coast of Sardinia. They were put to death at Porto Torres under the emperor Hadrian because of their faith. About this time the martyrdom of Crescentianus of Sassari is also said to have taken place. It is possible that the martyrdom of Crispulus and Gabinus is much later than Hadrian. The two are commemorated on 30 May, by the Western calendar, and are venerated as patrons in Sardinia.
