Pollio of Cybalae or Pullio of Cybalae (3rd century) is venerated as a Christian martyr who may have been executed for his faith during the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian.[1] It is thought that he may have been a lector in the city of Cybalae (present-day Vinkovci, Croatia) in the Roman province of Pannonia.[1] As such he may have been associated with the imperial dynasty.[2] He is mentioned in the Hieronymian Martyrology and the Synaxarium of Constantinople.
Hagiographies tell the story of how he suffered interrogation from the prefect Probus and refused to abjure his faith; and was put to death outside of the city walls by being burnt alive.[3]
