Saint Hippolytus is usually understood to mean Hippolytus of Rome, a Roman priest celebrated in a common feast with Pope Pontian on 13 August as having both won the martyr's crown after being exiled to Sardinia after a period in which the priest had opposed the pope.
Most, if not all, of what appear to be other martyrs of the same name seem to be in reality this same Hippolytus.
