Pope Caius (died 22 April 296),[1] also called Gaius, was the bishop of Rome from 17 December 283 to his death in 296.[2] Little information on Caius is available except that given by the Liber Pontificalis, which relies on a legendary account of the martyrdom of Susanna of Rome for its information. According to legend, Caius baptized the men and women who had been converted by Tiburtius (who is venerated with Susanna) and Castulus.[3] His legend states that Caius took refuge in the catacombs of Rome and died a martyr.[4]
