Read Baring-Gould’s full account

Baring-Gould’s sources: Ado, Notker, and Modern Roman Martvrology.] Crf.scentianus, Victor, Rosula, and Generalis were four African Christians who suffered the same day, perhaps at Carthage, in the persecution of Valerian. S. Cyprian suffered on this day, and his greater glory has eclipsed these lesser lights; nevertheless, though their acts have not been preserved, their names are remembered in the Church as witnesses to Christ.
