St. Marin ( Italian: San Marino diacono ) is a Christian saint who is considered the founder of the oldest existing republic - San Marino (301). It is traditionally believed that he was a hired bricklayer who arrived from the island of Rab on the other side of the Adriatic Sea (modern Croatia ), fleeing persecution for his Christian convictions. He became a deacon and was ordained by the Holy Gaudencia , Bishop of Rome . He was later accused by one crazy woman of having abandoned her husband. Then Marino became a hermit and began to live near Mount Monte Titano .

According to legend, he died in the winter of 366, and his last words were: “ Relinquo vos liberos ab utroque homine ” (“I leave you free from that and from another person”) [1] . Sanmarinians referred to this legend in order to substantiate their independence from both the pope and the Holy Roman Empire .

Notes
- ↑ This somewhat mysterious phrase most likely refers to two “men”, on whose dependence the Sanmarinians decided to free themselves, becoming a “hermit on Mount Titano”: respectively, from the emperor and the pope. This legendary proclamation of freedom (primarily a financial franchise) from both the state and the Church has always served as an inspiration to the tiny republic.
