Victor of Marseilles was a Roman military officer originally from Upper Egypt who became a Christian martyr in Marseille. During the late 3rd century, he openly rejected the worship of Roman idols, leading to his confrontation with local prefects and Emperor Maximian. After enduring various tortures, he successfully converted three fellow soldiers, Longinus, Alexander, and Felician, to his faith. His refusal to honor the god Jupiter resulted in a failed execution attempt by millstone, ultimately leading to his death by beheading.
