- Religious Figures rank#140
A third-century bishop of Rome whose papacy left almost no verifiable record — what survives comes from a ninth-century text that leans on legend more than documentation.
About
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.
