Dear all,
It has kindly been pointed out to me that I forgot to put a "not" before the
"join" in the listing below. So just to clear the names of Maurice and his
companions, they did *not* join in offering a sacrifice. Sorry Maurice!
* Maurice and companions, martyrs (287?): Augustus Maximian Herculius
ordered this legion of six thousand six hundred Christian men to be put to
death since they did join in offering a sacrifice to the gods after a
successful expedition.
Yours,
Carolyn Muessig
