Attilius

Saint Attilius is, according to tradition, a legendary martyr of the Theban Legion, venerated as a saint in the surroundings of Trino Vercellese in Piedmont, northwestern Italy. He is commemorated on 28 June. His veneration is, however, no longer officially recognized by the Catholic Church, and his name does not appear in the present martyrologies. Very little and unclear is known of his life; he is thought to be a Roman soldier of the Theban Legion, martyred with Saint Maurice. He is depicted with a flag, a helmet and the martyr's palm branch.
