Life
Hyacinth of Rome was a martyr at Portus (Porto), near Rome, remembered on 26 July.
The Roman Martyrology says that at Porto there was the martyr Saint Hyacinth, who was first thrown into the fire, then cast into a stream, without suffering any harm. Afterwards, in the time of the emperor Trajan, he was struck with the sword by the ex-consul Leontius and so ended his life. His body was buried by the matron Julia on her estate near Rome. We have no other data.
He is a saint of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is scant.
