Saint and Martyr, of Antioch, was an officer of "the Herculiari band," in the time of Julian the Aliostate. This emperor had removed from the imperial standard (labarum) the cross and sacred name, which Constantine had ordered to be borne. Bonosus and Maximilian persisted in retaining these standards, and were beaten with loaded clubs, and thrown into boiling pitch; after which they were beheaded, with some other martyrs, among whom are named Jovianus and Herculianus, about the end of December, 362. Their festival is, however, kept on Aug. 21. The Acts of these saints, given by Ruinart, are probably authentic, although not original. See Butler, Aug. 21; Baillet, Aug. 21; Landon, Eccles. Dict. s.v.; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
