Life

Flavianus was a martyr in a city that the Syriac Martyrology of 411 names in a corrupt form, read by editors as Noviodunum. It is tentatively identified with present-⁠day Isaccea on the Danube, in Dobruja. He is a saint of the undivided Church.

Flavianus of Noviodunum is commemorated on 25 May, by the Julian calendar (old style). The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology names another martyr, Philip, at Noviodunum in Moesia. No other account of the life or death of Flavianus survives.

Commemorated the same day May 25
