Martyrdom is a Technology exclusive only in Age of Empires: Rise of Rome. It can only be researched at the temple once Iron Age is reached. To research this technology, 600 gold is required. Once fully developed, the priest gains the ability to convert an enemy unit instantly only when the priest is sacrificed (press DELETE). This technology can only be used by the player. However, to some players, this technology is deemed useless since the cost for it is expensive and so is the priest. In campaigns or quests, this technology can be useful if an ultimate unit crucial for vistory is hard to get. In an actual game, use 2 priests to convert each enemy unit instead of researching this upgrade. It is just as effective and uses less gold.
