Saints Marcellinus and Peter (sometimes called Petrus Exorcista - Peter the Exorcist;[2] Italian: Marcellino e Pietro) are venerated within the Catholic Church as martyrs who were beheaded. Hagiographies place them in 4th century Rome. They are generally represented as men in middle age, with tonsures and palms of martyrdom; sometimes they hold a crown each.
