Английская Википедия:Gemellus of Ancyra
Шаблон:Infobox saint Saint Gemellus of Ancyra (Шаблон:Lang-el) is venerated as a Christian martyr and saint. According to tradition, he was martyred by crucifixion at Ancyra (present-day Ankara), in Asia Minor, during the reign of Julian the Apostate.[1]
He was a native of Paphlagonia.[2]
He is said to be the last Christian martyr who was killed by crucifixion.[1] Hearing that the Emperor Julian was at Ancyra, Gemellus had traveled there to criticize the emperor for his apostasy,[2] and was tortured and killed at Ancyra[1] (or, according to one source, at Edessa[2]).
A church dedicated to Saint Gemellus was located at Sykeon, a village on the Siberis River in Asia Minor.[3]
