Life
Holy Martyr Peter of Tomis was one of the sons of the tribune Marcellinus and Mannea, who confessed Christ alongside their father. The family, that is Marcellinus, Mannea and their sons John, Serapion and Peter, is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on 27 August (new style), as martyrs of Tomis (today Constanța, in Dobruja).
The surviving sources give no other details about the manner of his suffering. The Church honours him as a confessor of the first Christian centuries of Dobruja, a saint of the undivided Church.
