Tertullian
Best known for his quote "The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church," Tertullian was born probably about 160 at Carthage. According to St. Jerome he lived to extreme old age. The famous quote comes from his Apologeticus, Tertullian's most recognized work, in which he defends Christianity, demanding legal toleration and that Christians be treated as all other sects of the Roman Empire.
