A martyr whose life is mentioned by St. Eulogius, alongside the sufferings of his sister, Victoria. This martyr lived in Córdoba, Spain. When arrested, Acisclus and Victoria clearly maintained their Christian faith and were condemned to death after prolonged torture. Victoria was shot by arrows and Acisclus was beheaded. Some records indicate the two died during the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. There is considerable doubt about whether Victoria ever existed at all, but both she and Acisclus are remembered in Mozarabic liturgical rites.
