Life

Fortunatus of Hadrumetum was a martyr at Hadrumetum (now Sousse, in Tunisia), most probably in the Vandal persecution of the 5th century. The French source names him in a group formed by Verulus, Secundinus, Siricius, Servulus, Saturninus, Felix and sixteen more of their companions. All are commemorated on 21 February, in the Western calendar (new style). No further details about them survive in our sources. He is venerated in the West, as a saint of the undivided Church.
