Life

Holy Martyr Paul of Rome (the second of that name) is commemorated on 9 July with his brother John and with Gallicanus. The three were Romans of noble birth, and Gallicanus was twice elected consul at Rome. They suffered in the time of Julian the Apostate (361-363). The Azbyka page gives no other facts about them.

They are not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church. Saint Paul is commemorated on 9 July, in the new style.
