Valerius and Rufinus
Valerius and Rufinus are venerated as Christian saints and martyrs. Their legend states that they were imperial tax collectors in Soissons who were pious Christians. They were ordered to be arrested by Rictius Varus, the praefectus-praetorii in Gaul. The two saints hid themselves but were eventually caught, and then tortured and beheaded on the high road leading to Soissons.
