Attributes
As portrayed at their martyrdom: St Felician is nailed to a tree and St Primus is forced to swallow molten lead.
Saints Primus and Felician (Felicianus) (Italian: Primo e Feliciano) were brothers who suffered martyrdom about the year 304 during the Diocletian persecution. The Martyrologium Hieronymianum gives under June 9 the names of Primus and Felician who were buried at the fourteenth milestone of the Via Nomentana (near Nomentum, now Mentana).[1]
They were evidently from Nomentum. This notice comes from the catalogue of Roman martyrs of the fourth century.[1]
