Saint Secundus of Asti lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries. He was a soldier and officer in the imperial Roman army which was a low rake which means he was probably a young man. He converted to Christianity and was baptized in Milan, Italy. He illegally gave a Christian burial to martyr Saint Marcian of Tortona and then his family fled to Asti, Italy. It was there that he was arrested, tortured, and beheaded. He died a martyr. There are a few legends about him. His relics are in the cathedral in Asti.
