Life
The Martyrs of Rome are a great number of Christians remembered together on 2 March in the Western calendar (new style). The only surviving report says they died as martyrs in Rome under the emperor Alexander Severus and the prefect Ulpian, and the calendar places their death in the year 219. The year and the reign do not fully agree, so the date stays uncertain.
Their names have not been preserved. They are honoured as saints of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the sources.
