Faustina and Jacobita Put to Death, in the Year 120

FAUSTINA AND JACOBITA PUT TO DEATH, FOR THE FAITH, AT BRESCIA; AND ELENTHERUS WITH HIS MOTHER ANTHIA, IN SICILY, IN THE YEAR 120

About this time several persons were put to death for the name of Christ; as Faustina and Jacobita, at Brescia in Italy; Elentherus with his mother Anthia, and others, at Messina in Sicily, and so on; all of whom, contending steadfastly, even to death, departed with joyful hope. As regards the persecutions of this time, compare Joh. Gysii Hist. Mart., folio 115, column 4, with A. Mellinus, P. J. Twisck, and others.
