Abibus of Samosata was a Christian martyr who lived in Samosata, located along the Euphrates River in Syria. During the Diocletianic Persecution, he was arrested after declining to participate in a pagan ritual honoring Emperor Maximian's victory against the Persians. Following his imprisonment, where he suffered physical torment through the use of iron and heavy neck shackles, he was sentenced to death. He died in 297 after undergoing crucifixion alongside several other companions.
