Nemesius - Saint Nemesius

Saint Nemesius is Roman Catholic saint, of Alexandria in Egypt, and a martyr. He was brought to court accused of being a thief (through slander), and was later acquitted. Later, in a persecution during the time of the emperor Decius, was denounced as a Christian to a judge Aemilianus. The judge ordered him racked with intense tortures, and burned, alongside accused thieves.

Another Saint Nemesius was one of the seven sons of St. Symphorosa.
