Gavinus

Saint Gavinus (Italian:San Gavino) is a Christian saint who is greatly celebrated in Sardinia, Italy, as one of the Martyrs of Torres (Martiri turritani), along with his companions SS Protus and Januarius.

He was probably a Roman soldier martyred for the Christian faith during the persecution of Diocletian in 304 in the city of Porto Torres (Latin:Turris), according to the legend on the orders of the governor (preside) of Sardinia and Corsica, a certain Barbarus.
