Juventius of Pavia
 He shares a second feast with Saint Syrus on September 12. The tradition is that Saint Hermagoras, bishop of Aquileia and disciple of Saint Mark, dispatched Saints Syrus and Juventius to evangelize Pavia Ticinum, where Juventius became its first bishop.

Juventius has two feast days, 8 February alone and 12 September together with Syrus.
