Saint Timolaus and five companions according to the historian of the early Christian church Eusebius in his Martyrs of Palestine were young men who having heard that the Roman authorities in Caesarea Palestine in 303 AD had condemned a number of Christians to die by being thrown to wild beasts in the public arena came before the governor of their own volition with their hands tied behind their backs and demanded to join their fellow Christians in that martyrdom.
