The Holy Martyrs Montanus, Lucius and Companions were ten martyrs of North Africa, disciples of Saint Cyprian of Carthage, who suffered at Carthage in the year 259, in the time of the Emperor Valerian. Among them were Julian, Victoricus and Flavian. The story of their imprisonment was written by themselves, and that of their martyrdom by eyewitnesses.
