3rd century Sardinian official
About Luxorius
Lived 300 – 304. Luxorius was a Roman.
Luxurius or Luxorius (Italian - Lussorio; Pisan dialect - Rossore) was an ancient Roman official on Sardinia in the late 3rd and early 4th centuries. Apparitor to Delphius, the praeses or governor of the island, he was converted to Christianity by reading the Psalms. He possibly was beheaded on 21 August for refusing to sacrifice to idols in the city of Forum Traiani (present-day Fordongianus), probably in 304 during the fourth of Diocletian's persecutions. Later he was venerated as a martyr and saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
