Description
Anthimus of Nicomedia (martyred 303 or 311–12), was the bishop of Nicomedia in Bithynia, where he was beheaded during a persecution of Christians, traditionally placed under Diocletian (following Eusebius), in which “rivers of blood” flowed.
Nicomedia was Diocletian’s chief place of residence and was half-Christian, the palace itself being filled with Christians. Christian sources memorialized the “20,000 Martyrs of Nicomedia”. The main Christian church of Nicomedia was destroyed on February 23, 303, and the First Edict was published on the following day. The massacres transpired in the Christian communities of Bithynia after altars were set up in the marketplaces, in which no transactions were permitted until a token sacrifice to the gods and the daemon of the Augustus had been performed.
