Life
Saint Herculanus of Porto, Martyr, was put to death around the year 180 at Portus Romae, near Ostia. Little is known about him. The old martyrologies mention a Taurinus as his companion. The Bollandist Stilting supposes that Herculanus was in fact executed with Saint Censurinus at Ostia and only buried at Portus Romae. He is commemorated on 5 September, by the Western calendar.
