Life

Aquilinus, Geminus, Gelasius, Magnus and Donatus of Rome were five martyrs remembered together on 3 February and honored at Fossombrone (anciently Forum Sempronii) in Italy.

The Roman Martyrology says only that at Fossombrone there were the holy martyrs Aquilinus, Geminus, Gelasius, Magnus and Donatus. Our record places them at Rome, but the source shows Fossombrone. We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom.

They are saints of the undivided Church, honored in the West; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
