		This was a time in Christianity's history when holy men were plentiful on both the ground and the gibbet: extreme forms of persecution went hand-in-glove with extreme forms of religious behaviour as holy men abnegated, flagellated and fasted in Gothic proportions, all to serve the greater glory of God.
		Marino and Leo were the apostles of their time and dedicated their lives to the usual litany of saintly behaviour - extreme self-denial, florid acts of sacrifice, performing miracles of the making-cripples-walk-and-blind-see type - right up until they went their separate hermetic ways (Leo to Montefeltro and Marino to Mount Titano).
		They quickly gathered a band of followers together, and by the 12th century San Marino had evolved into an independent commune ruled by its own statutes and consuls, and protected from the meddling of bishops and the incursions of neighbouring armies by isolation and impregnable rock.
