Life

The Holy Martyrs Marcellus and Apuleius were two martyrs of Capua in Italy, of the third or fourth century. Historians consider that the existence of Apuleius cannot be proved and that his story is rather legendary. The Roman calendar received them in the thirteenth century.

They are saints of the undivided Church, commemorated together on 7 October (new style, Western calendar).
