Life

Saint Aquilinus the Martyr is commemorated on 17 May (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Restituta, Andrius, Victor, Basilla, Eradius, Paul, Aquilinus and those with them. The English calendar places Heradius, Paul and Aquilinus near Lake Geneva, in the time of the persecutions between 284 and 305, and their names are found in Western sources; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life or the manner of his death.
