Saint Proculus (Proclus) of Pozzuoli (Italian: San Procolo) was martyred around 305 AD, according to Christian tradition, at the same time as Saint Januarius.
He was martyred with:
Sossius or Sosius, deacon of Miseno (Italian: Sosso, Sossio)
Festus, lector (Italian: Festo)
Desiderius, lector (Italian: Desiderio)
Acutius (Italian: Acuzio)
Eutyches (Eutychius) (Italian: Eutiche)
These seven martyrs are first mentioned in relation to the life of Saint Januarius.[1] The martyrs’ relics were translated at various times and to various destinations.[1] Early documents, including the Atti Puteolani and the Acta s. Proculi were kept at the Archivio della Curia of Pozzuoli before being published for the first time in 1867 in Paris by the Jesuit Bollandist Stilting.[1]
In addition, the Atti Bolognesi, conserved in a codex dating from 1180, also provides information about these martyrs; this codex was kept at the Celestine monastery of Santo Stefano in Bologna.[1] The codex contains the legend of Proculus, based on earlier accounts dating from at least the seventh century.[1]
