Alexander, Eventius, and Theodolus were martyrs in Rome under Trajan, being burned and beheaded c.113 on the Via Nomentana in Rome, Italy. They were arrested by the tribune Quirinus, who, with his daughter, they converted to Christianity by performing miracles. Their relics are interred in the Dominican church of Santa Sabina, Rome (pictured above).
From the martyrology:
"At Rome, on the Via Nomentana, the holy martyrs Pope Alexander and the priests Eventius and Theodulus. Alexander was bound, imprisoned, racked, lacerated with hooks, burned, and had all his limbs pierced with pointed instruments, and finally met death, under Emperor Hadrian and the judge Aurelian. Eventius and Theodulus after a long imprisonment were exposed to flames and then beheaded."
