Pope Urban I, also known as Saint Urban (175?–230) (Latin: Urbanus I), was the bishop of Rome from 222 to 23 May 230.[1] He was born in Rome and succeeded Callixtus I, who had been martyred. It was believed for centuries that Urban I was also martyred. However, recent historical discoveries now lead scholars to believe that he died of natural causes.[2]
