Life
Saint Successus the Martyr is commemorated on 19 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the company of nine martyrs: Paul, Gerontius, Januarius, Saturninus, Successus, Julius, Catus, Pius and Germanus. Western calendars place them in Numidia, in North Africa, and their names are also in the Roman Martyrology; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.
The sources consulted preserve no details of his life or of the manner of his death, only his name among the martyrs.
