A Fourth-Century Military Martyr
According to tradition, Saint Victor was a Prefect of the Cohort of the Theban Legion. Because he refused to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods, he was executed in the 4th century in the amphitheater of Castra Vetera (the site of present-day Xanten, Germany). According to legend, Saint Helena of Constantinople recovered the bones of Saint Victor and his legion and erected a chapel in their honour. The Xanten Cathedral, St. Victor’s Cathedral – the largest cathedral between Cologne and the sea – now stands on this spot.
