African martyr during the persecution of the Church under Emperor Trajanus Decius. With a group of Christians, Numidicus was burned at the stake in Carthage, although there is a tradition that he somehow managed to survive the ordeal. After being dragged from the ashes at the site of his execution and found to still be alive, he went to be ordained by St. Cyprian of Carthage.
