Life

Holy Martyrs Donatus, Romulus, Secundian and 86 Companions were a group of Christians martyred at Concordia Sagittaria (then called Iulia Concordia), near Venice, in the persecution of Diocletian, around the year 304.

The sources keep only this about them. Their commemoration is kept on 17 February in the Western calendar. They are saints of the undivided Church, honoured in the West, without synodal canonization.
