Alexander of Rome (died 289) is a Christian martyr.
He died in 289 AD and his mother Pimenia buried him near the river Ergina.
Alexander was a Roman soldier and he was serving in the regiment of the tribune Tiberian at Rome.
During this period, the Roman emperor Maximian Hercules issued an edict by which all citizens were required to go to the temple of Jupiter to offer sacrifice.
Alexander refused to follow this order because of his strong Christian faith.
