San Protacio, also known as Saint Protasius, is believed to have been martyred for his Christian faith during the Roman persecution of Christians. While specific details about his death are scarce, he is traditionally thought to have been executed alongside his brother, Saint Gervasius, around the late 2nd century. Their martyrdom is commemorated in the Christian liturgical calendar, and they are venerated as saints in both the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
