Saturian

Saturian was a martyr in Africa, a brother of Martinian, in the time of the Arian Vandal king Genseric. The Roman Martyrology commemorates him on 16 October together with Martinian and two brothers of theirs. They were slaves of a man of the Vandal race and were brought to faith in Christ by Maxima, a slave like themselves. They showed such steadfastness that they were beaten with heavy clubs and torn to the bone; their wounds healed overnight, so they were sent into exile. There they turned many barbarians to the faith, obtained from the bishop of Rome a priest and helpers for baptism, and finally were condemned to die dragged through thorns behind running chariots.

He is commemorated on 16 October, in the Western calendar (new style). A holy martyr of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.
