Life

Saint Anastasius Cornicularius, martyr, was a Roman tribune and suffered at Salona, in Dalmatia, or, according to other sources, at Spalato. He died around the year 274, according to our data. He is commemorated on 21 and 26 August.

He turned to the Lord at the death of Saint Agapitus, and for this he was tortured.

He should not be confused with Saint Anastasius the Fuller, also of Salona, who died in 304 and was also a martyr.
