Life
Troadius was a Christian martyr of Neocaesarea, who died by crucifixion in the time of the emperor Decius, around the year 250. His commemoration is on 28 December.
The source says nothing about his life before his martyrdom. Troadius is honoured as a saint in both Eastern and Western calendars, and the source points both to a page of the Orthodox Church in America and to a Catholic one; it shows no synodal canonization.
Commemorated the same day December 28
