Disciple of Saint Cyprian of Carthage. When revolt erupted in Carthage in 259, during a period of persecution by Valerian, the procurator Solon blamed it on the Christians, and began suppressing them. Arrested, tortured, and martyred with Saint Julian of Carthage, Saint Lucius of Carthage, Saint Victorius of Carthage, Saint Flavian of Carthage, and five companions whose names have not come down to us.
