St. Argeus was a soldier in the Roman army during the early 4th century, along with his brothers Narcissus and Marcellinus. Little is known about his early life, but it is believed he was born in what is now Romania. His commitment to Christianity would ultimately define his life, as he and his brothers refused to partake in the emperor's command to offer sacrifices to Roman gods, showcasing their deep faith. | |||
St. Argeus was martyred in 320 AD in Tomi, modern-day Constanta, Romania, for his refusal to renounce Christianity. He was beheaded alongside his brother Narcissus, while their younger brother Marcellinus was subjected to a different fate, being drowned after torture. Their martyrdom during the reign of Emperor Licinius has been commemorated in the Christian tradition, with St. Argeus being venerated on January 2 each year. | |||
