CONTEXT

ABSTRACT

Life of the Holy Marius, Saint Marthe and their sons Audifax and Abacuc (+270). This holy family from Persia settled in Rome to venerate the apostles at their burial site. The second, and more important motive that brought them to the city, was that they wanted to bury the martyrs who died during the reign of Claudius II Goticus. Because of this act they were arrested and tortured. Marius and his two sons died by decapitation while Martha was drowned in a lake.
