Life
Saint Olympinus the Martyr is commemorated on 30 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the company of the companions of Saint Hippolytus of Rome: Cyriacus the bishop, the two priests named Maximus, Archelaus the deacon, the virgin Chryse and many other martyrs. The English calendar places them at Ostia, in the time of the emperor Claudius Gothicus, in the year 269. Their names are also found in Western synaxaria; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.
In the sources he does not appear as a bishop: only Cyriacus is a bishop. Nothing else of his life has been preserved.
