Roman martyr, also called Rictiovarus, who perhaps is entirely a figure of legend. Converted by the holy martyr Lucy, he was supposedly a Roman prefect who had devoted himself to the relentless and cruel persecution of the Church until undergoing a major change of heart. Scholars today doubt not only the account of his conversion, but that Rixius Varus existed at all.
