Martyrs buried on the Aurelian Way. According to tradition, they were two Roman martyrs who were much venerated in the Eternal City, including having a basilica on the Aurelian. They joined the Apostles Peter and Paul in the Mamertine Prison in Rome before their executions. A spring flowed miraculously in the prison, and Processus and Martinian, both wardens, were baptized in the miraculous waters. Their relics are preserved in St. Peter's Basilica. Their cults have been limited to local calendars since 1969.
