Life
Peter, Julian and Eighteen Companions of Rome were martyrs of Rome, remembered together on 7 August.
The Roman Martyrology says only that at Rome there were the holy martyrs Peter and Julian, with eighteen others. We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom.
They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
