Gemellus of Ancyra was a Christian martyr from Paphlagonia who lived during the fourth century. While the emperor Julian the Apostate ruled, Gemellus traveled to Ancyra to protest the emperor's rejection of the Christian faith. As a result of his opposition, he faced torture and was eventually executed by crucifixion. He is often identified as the final Christian martyr to suffer this specific method of death.
