==Viața==
Apolinarie era de loc din [[Antiohia]] și a fost dintre cei care l-au însoțit pe [[Apostolul Pavel]] la [[Roma]] și apoi a fost trimis de acesta la Ravena<ref>''Liber Pontificalis'', ap. Muratori, ''Rer. It. Script''. ii. part i.</ref>.  Apollinaris was well read in Greek and Latin. In Ravenna his teaching and miracles brought hostile attention to him, resulting in his being persecuted and driven from the city by the pagans. Remaining in the vicinity of Ravenna he continued to evangelize until he again was compelled to flee. 

After being expelled, Apollinaris journeyed to Dalmatia, Pannonia, Thrace, and Corinth where he preached for three years. He then returned to Ravenna to preach, perform miracles, and suffer further persecutions. He was [[martyr]]ed during the rule of Vespasian on July 23, in the year 78, after an episcopate of 28 years. He died in the port town of Classis, where he was buried.
