Romanus of Samosata (died 297) was a martyr for Christianity in Syria in 297.
He and his companions, Jacob, Philotheus, Hyperechius, Abibus, Julianus, and Paregorius were all subject to a variety of tortures before being hanged to trees and then nailed against them.
They are mentioned in the Menaea Graeca and the Menologium der Orthodox-Katholischen Kirche des Morgenlandes.
Their feast day is January 29.
Romanus is one of the 140 Colonnade saints which adorn St. Peter's Square.
