Gabinus
Gabinus († around 130? In Porto Torres in Sardinia ) was a Christian martyr and saint .
Gabinus and his companion Crispulus are said to have been converted to the Christian faith through the suffering of Antiochus von Sulci , who suffered martyrdom on the island of Sulci off the coast of Sardinia around 110 . They themselves were executed in Porto Torres (lat .: Turris ) under Emperor Hadrian for their beliefs. At this time the martyrdom of Crescentianus took place in Sardinia. Gabinus is considered the father of Susanna of Rome , who only lived over a century after Hadrian.
In the 8th century the remains of Gabinus were transferred by Pope Gregory III. to Rome , where they were buried in St. Peter's Basilica. The commemoration day of Gabinus, like Crispulus, is May 30th . Both are venerated as patrons in Sardinia.
