Answer
It is not certain that Pope Pius I died as a martyr. The traditional account is that he was arrested and executed during the persecution of Christians under the emperor Domitian, but there is no firm evidence to support this. The earliest source to mention Pius' death is the Liber Pontificalis, which was written over a century after his death.
