Life

Agapius and Companions are a group of martyrs commemorated on 29 April (the date in the calendars of Western saints, new style). Agapius and Secundinus, bishops or priests born in Spain, were exiled to Cirta in Numidia in the persecution under Valerian, around the year 259. There they suffered martyrdom together with the virgins Tertulla and Antonia and a woman with her twin children. The source consulted gives no other details; little else is known.
