# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Caius held the bishopric of Rome from 17 December 283 until his death on 22 April 296. The Liber Pontificalis, compiled centuries later, drew on a legendary martyrdom account to sketch his story: he supposedly baptized converts brought in by Tiburtius and Castulus, took shelter in the catacombs, and died a martyr. Beyond that framework, nothing concrete survives. He remains a name in the papal succession, a figure whose actual life dissolved into the distance between event and record.
