Saint Sabbas Stratelates (Sava Stratelat, Sabas Stratilat, Savva Stratilatus), also known as Sabbas the General of Rome (died 272, in Tiber River, Rome) was an early Christian warrior saint and martyr. He served as a Roman military general under Emperor Aurelian. He is often paired with Saint Sabbas the Goth, and his martyrdom inspired 70 Roman soldiers to follow in his footsteps.
Saint Sabbas Stratelates, a member of a Gothic tribe, demonstrated exceptional bravery and rose to the rank of military commander (stratelates) under Roman Emperor Aurelian (270-275). From his youth, Sabbas was a devout Christian dedicated to following Christ's teachings. He showed compassion by helping those in need and visiting Christians in prison. Saint Sabbas also possessed the gift of wonderworking, healing the sick and casting out demons in the name of Christ.
