The Crypt of Martyrs Calogerus and Parthenius


According to Depositium Martirium Calogerus and Parthenius both were martyred around the year 354 and were buried in the cemetery of St. Callixtus in the region called Eusebius.
Instead in the book of Baruffa, it is stated that there is no exact knowledge about the identity and the origin of the two martyrs. Presumably they were victims of persecution during the time of Diocletian in 304.




De Rossi found graffiti in the area of Pope Caius and Eusebius in a simple family tomb where both martyrs name were written (Cf. Le Catecombe di San Callisto, 104).
