• Year: c 300.
• Feast Day: Oct 15

He was martyred in Carthage in North Africa, but his relics were later translated to Rome, which was mentioned in an epistle from Pope St Gregory the Great to the bishop of Carthage Dominicus, Register of Letters 12.1: ‘Furthermore, we have received what your Holiness sent us, the blessing of your martyr, Saint Agileus, with the same love as yours in sending it.’ (Praeterea ex transmissione uestrae sanctitatis beati Agilegi martyris benedictionem ea caritate qua nobis est a uobis transmissa percepimus.)
