- Profile
- Little is known about him.
27th pope.
Legend says he buried 324 martyrs with his own hands, but he reigned in a quiet period of no state persecution, so this is questionable.
Another legend credits him with developing the blessings of fields and crops, but this came later.
Some documents call him a martyr, but there are no contemporary records to back it up.
