Life

Peter, Successus, Bassian, Primitivus and Companions were martyrs in North Africa, remembered together on 9 December in the Western calendar (new style). The source places a question mark on the details and says nothing else.

They are honoured as saints of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
