Life
Two brothers, servants of the Roman household of Eugenia, martyred by fire and sword under Valerian. In 1845 the archaeologist Marchi found Hyacinth’s loculus in the catacomb of Bassilla still sealed, ashes and charred bones within — the rarest thing in Rome: a martyr’s grave untouched since the third century.
