Life

Holy Martyr Septiminus is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 30 August (new style), together with Saint Fortunatus.

The synaxarion enters his name among the martyrs Felix the bishop, Januarius the priest, Fortunatus and Septiminus, all put to death by the sword; the verse of the synaxarion says that Septiminus, who was "most venerable" in his life, found also a most venerable end, by the sword. Their memory is repeated on 16 April. No other details of Septiminus's life are preserved in the sources consulted.
