Priscus

Saint Priscus was a martyr of Nuceria Alfaterna in Campania (today Nocera), venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. He is said to have been born and to have died in the same city, on 16 September 68, in the time of Nero.

The martyrology attributed to Saint Jerome relates that under Nero a Felix was martyred at Nola, and at Nuceria Alfaterna a Felix, a Constantia (or Constantius) and a Priscus, whose death would have taken place on 16 September of the same year. Because of the name, Priscus the martyr was long taken to be the same as Priscus, the first bishop of Nocera; but nothing confirms this, and it is more likely that the bishop lived in the third or fourth century.
