St Sebastian was born in the Roman province of Gallia (modern France) and enlisted in the Roman army in 283 AD. It appears that he served in or near Rome itself, which was unusual for provincials at that time; the Emperor Diocletian made him a "captain" in the royal guards (the Praetorians). There was no such rank in the Roman army, so it is assumed that he really became a Praetorian centurion.
He was discovered to be a Christian and sentenced to be shot dead with arrows, which he survived, only to be again sentenced to death by clubbing (a common sentence for Roman soldiers who committed serious crimes).
