Life

Vindemialis, Florentius, Eugenius and Longinus are four martyrs killed on 2 May 483, according to one source. Vindemialis was a bishop in Numidia, Longinus bishop of Pamaria in Mauretania, Florentius from another African city, and nothing is known of Eugenius. They opposed the Arian heresy at a synod at Carthage and were beheaded on the order of the Vandal king Huneric.

Until 760 the relics of Vindemialis and Florentius are said to have lain in a church at Saint-⁠Florent, and then Bishop Tiziano brought them to Treviso. Vindemialis is patron of the town of San Vendemiano. They are commemorated on 2 May.
