The Holy Martyrs Gaius the Priest and Leo the Subdeacon suffered for Christ either in North Africa or in Rome; the Western calendars do not decide the place. Gaius was a priest and Leo a subdeacon.

They are commemorated on 30 June as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources do not preserve the story of their martyrdom.
