Nemesian

Nemesian was a bishop in Numidia in North Africa. Together with eight other bishops, Felix, Lucius, a second Felix, Litteus, Polyanus, Victor, Jader and Dativus, and numerous clergy and laypeople, he was condemned around the year 257 to forced labour in the marble quarries of Sigum, where they ended their lives. The letter that Saint Cyprian addressed to them has survived. They are saints of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

Their commemoration falls on 10 September (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 23 September of the civil calendar.
