The life of Calliopius, with his mother Theoclea

Condemned by the prefect Maximus to be crucified on Great Thursday, he was, at his mother's plea, crucified head downward, thinking it unworthy to suffer as the Lord had; he died on Great Friday in 304. Theoclia, who had come to strengthen him, reposed upon his body.
