Martyrs who suffered for Christ in 484, commemorated together.
Life
The Holy Martyrs Aquilinus and Companions are a group of seven Christians of North Africa, put to death for their faith around 484 by the Vandal king Hunneric, who was an Arian. They are named Aquilinus, Geminus, Eugene, Marcian, Quintus, Theodotus and Tryphon, and the Venerable Bede mentions them in his writings.
The names of Aquilinus and Geminus also appear on 4 February, for another group of martyrs of central Italy, who are different persons. The martyrs of Africa are saints of the undivided Church, commemorated on 4 January (new style).
