Life
The Martyrs of Carthage are a group of forty-six Christians who, it seems, were tortured in the year 250, shut in among snakes and scorpions and finally killed, in the persecution under Emperor Decius. Only six names are known: Africanus, Alexander, Maximus, Pompeius, Terentius and Theodore.
They are commemorated on 10 April (Roman calendar, new style).
