The third-century Church Father, Origen, writing (Contra Celsum, 3.8) of the total of Christian martyrs up to his own time, in Rome and elsewhere, states that there were not many - and that it was easy to count them.
From the history of Eusebius, Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) establishes that only nine bishops were punished with death. He says that no more than ninety-two Christians were martyred in Palestine and that the total number of Christian martyrs in the entire empire never exceeded two thousand.
