Saint Marinus was the founder of the world's oldest surviving republic, San Marino, in 301.
Tradition holds that he was a stonemason by trade who came from the island of Rab on the other side of the Adriatic Sea (modern Croatia), fleeing persecution for his Christian beliefs in the Diocletianic Persecution.
His memorial day is September 3, commemorating the day of the year when he founded San Marino, which is also San Marino''s national holiday.
