Aquilinus and Companions

The Holy Martyrs Aquilinus and Companions are five martyrs of the early centuries, Aquilinus, Geminus, Gelasius, Magnus and Donatus, who suffered at Forum Sempronii, identified with Fossombrone in central Italy, in the third century.

The names of Aquilinus and Geminus also appear on 4 January, for another group of martyrs of North Africa; the calendars regard them as two distinct companies. The sources available to us preserve no other details of these martyrs' lives. They are saints of the undivided Church, commemorated on 4 February (new style).
