Herculanus of Porto
Herculanus of Porto († around 180 in Portus Romae ) was a Christian martyr and saint .
Little is known about Herculanus. Ancient martyrologies mention a Taurinus as a companion. The martyrdom is said to have taken place in Portus Romae (Porto) near Ostia , but the Bollandist Stilting suspects that Herculanus was actually executed together with Saint Censurinus in Ostia and was merely buried in Portus Romae.
The saint's feast day is September 5th .
