Saint Saturninus of Cagliari ( _it. San Saturnino, Saturno) is venerated as the patron saint of Cagliari. According to Christian tradition, Saturninus was a local martyr –that is, he was killed at Cagliari by order of governor Barbarus. [ [http://saints.sqpn.com/saints1w.htm Patron Saints Index: Saint Saturninus of Cagliari ] ] The legend states that he was beheaded for refusing to offer sacrifices to Jupiter during the persecutions of Christians by Diocletian. [ [http://saints.sqpn.com/saints1w.htm Patron Saints Index: Saint Saturninus of Cagliari ] ]

However, scholars have determined that this tradition was invented centuries after the supposed martyrdom, and that the legend was devised "a posteriori" to attach a story to the name to whom the local ancient basilica was dedicated. [ [http://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/74500 San Saturnino di Cagliari ] ] Saint Saturninus may have been confused with Saturninus of Toulouse (Sernin). “Saturninus” was the name of several other martyrs, including some belonging to the group of the Martyrs of Abitina, and close trading ties and communications between North Africa and Cagliari may have resulted in the cult of a North African saint becoming attached to this Sardinian location.
