It was brought up in another thread that Paul got his Roman citizenship by serving as a soldier for at least 20 years. This was the only way a non-italian non-Roman born could do it.
I remember an illustration - in one of the big books, like "things in which it is impossible for God to lie" or "life everlasting" where Saul of Tarsus is pictured holding the robes of those who are stoning christians to death.
He is dressed as a Roman soldier with a metal breast plate. Anybody have a scan of this?
I am also convinced that his illustration of spiritual armor is based on his training as a Roman soldier. That is where he would have been trained to make and mend tents of course.

St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary was created in 1963.
Historians are uncertain about whether St. Paul had any siblings as there is no specific mention of them in historical records or the Bible. St. Paul himself does not mention any siblings in his letters.
Roman Catholic AnswerIf you mean physically related, not that we know of. They were "related" in that they were both apostles and they both died and were buried in Rome. St. Peter's tomb in under St. Peter's Basilica. And St. Paul is buried in St. Paul's Outside the Walls.
St. Paul was a Roman citizen by birth.
St. Paul is often symbolized by a sword, representing both his martyrdom and his role as a teacher of the Word of God. Another symbol associated with St. Paul is a book or scroll, signifying his letters and teachings that are included in the New Testament.
No, St. Paul was not a Roman soldier. He was a Jewish Pharisee and a tentmaker by trade who became an apostle of Jesus Christ after a dramatic conversion experience. Although he was a Roman citizen, which provided him certain legal protections, his role was primarily as a missionary and theologian rather than a soldier.
