Calepodius

Saint Calepodius (Italian: San Calepodio; died 232 AD) was a priest who was killed during the persecutions of Christians by the Roman Emperor Alexander Severus.

His Hagiography recalls that he was tortured and then thrown into the Tiber river with a mill stone tied round his neck.

[1] His relics, along with those of Saint Callistus and Saint Cornelius, were translated in the 10th century to the Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere (St. Mary beyond the Tiber) and deposited under the high altar.

St. Palmatius was of consular rank, and he died with his wife, children, and household.

St. Simplicius was a senator who suffered death with sixty-five members of his family and household.
