Mannea of Tomis

Holy Martyr Mannea of Tomis, wife of the tribune Marcellinus, died for Christ together with her husband and their sons John, Serapion and Peter. They are commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on 27 August (new style), as martyrs of Tomis, the city on the Pontus Euxinus (today Constanța, in Dobruja).

The text of the martyrology gives no details about how she suffered. The whole family confessed Christ and received the crown of martyrdom together, and Mannea is one of the few martyr mothers of the Dobrujan land whose names have been preserved.
