Life

Trophimus and Thalus were martyrs of Laodicea in Syria, the coastal city now called Latakia, put to death in the time of the persecution of Diocletian.

The Roman Martyrology commemorates them on 11 March. No account of their lives or deaths survives; their names are the only certain thing we have.
