Life

Saints Quintian and Atticus are commemorated together in the calendar of the West, on 30 April. No accounts of their lives survive in the sources consulted.

Wikipedia has an article on a Quintian of Rome, a confessor in the persecution of Decius around the year 250. His name appears in a letter of the confessor Lucian to Celerinus, preserved among the letters of Saint Cyprian of Carthage, among those who lay in prison at Rome; nothing certain is known of his later life. The sources do not say whether he is the same as the saint commemorated here.
