Saints Primus and Felician (Felicianus) ( Primo e Feliciano) suffered martyrdom about 297 in the Diocletian persecution. The Martyrologium Hieronymianum (ed. De Rossi-Duchesne, 77) gives under 9 June the names of Primus and Felician who were buried at the fourteenth milestone of the Via Nomentana (near Nomentum, now Mentana).
They were evidently from Nomentum. This notice comes from the catalogue of Roman martyrs of the fourth century.
