Sabbas the Goth was a 4th-century Christian martyr born in the Buzău river valley of modern-day Romania. A member of the Goths, he likely served as a cantor or reader within his religious community. During the reign of King Athanaric, he faced intense persecution for his faith, specifically refusing to consume meat that had been offered to pagan gods. His steadfastness led to his arrest and eventual execution, making him a significant figure in the history of early Christian martyrdom among the Gothic people.
