Life

Sisinius, Diocletius and Florentius were martyrs at Osimo, near Ancona in Italy, under Diocletian, around the year 303. They were stoned to death at the same time as the Roman priest Anthimus. They are remembered on 11 May in the Western calendar (new style).

No other details have been preserved. They are honoured as saints of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
