The priest Eusebius, for the defence of the Catholic faith, was shut up in a room of his own house by the Arian emperor Constantius, where constantly persevering in prayer for seven months, he rested in peace in 357 AD. His body was removed by the priests Gregory and Orosius, and buried in the cemetery of Saint Callistus on the Via Appia.
