Life
Holy Martyr Julian of Carthage was a disciple of Saint Cyprian and died a martyr at Carthage in the persecution of the emperor Valerian, in the third century.
The sources say little about him, except that he was one of the disciples of Cyprian put to death for the faith in that persecution. The old martyrologies commemorate him on 23 May in the Western calendar, on the same day as the martyr Victoricus. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured in the West, without synodal canonization.
