Euthymius was a Roman of the fourth century who, in the persecution of Diocletian, fled to Perugia in Italy with his wife and their son, Saint Crescentius. He reposed at Perugia and is venerated there. His son, a boy of eleven, was brought to Rome, bravely confessed Christ under torture and was beheaded. He is a saint of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

His commemoration falls on 29 August (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 11 September of the civil calendar.
