Life

Holy Martyr Gabinus suffered at Rome around the year 295. According to Orthodox England he was a relative of the Emperor Diocletian, a brother of Pope Gaius and the father of the martyr Saint Susanna, though Wikipedia notes that the family ties attributed to Susanna have no historical basis. The sources at hand give no further details. He is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 19 February (new calendar).
