Concordius of Spoleto was a 2nd-century Christian subdeacon born in Rome. The son of a presbyter named Gordian, he lived a reclusive life dedicated to prayer. During the persecutions under Marcus Aurelius, he was arrested and brought to Spoleto for trial. Despite being subjected to torture on a rack, he refused to renounce his religious convictions. His steadfastness eventually led to his execution after he rejected the worship of a Roman idol.
