Life
Victrix of Africa was a martyr of the Vandal persecution in Africa. No accounts of her life survive; the Wikidata entry calls her only a martyr of the Vandal persecution. The archive record gives her commemoration on 6 December, a day on which the Roman Martyrology recalls the confessors who suffered in Africa under the Arian king Huneric, among them Dionysia, Dativa and Leontia, but our sources do not say that Victrix is among them. The date is the Western one, new style. A holy martyr of the undivided Church, venerated chiefly in the West.
