A'RON
from Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama

by Rev. E. Cobham Brewer
(1810–1897)


Aaron (St.), a British martyr of the City of Legions ( Newport , in South Wales). He was torn limb from limb by order of Maximian'us Hercu'lius, general in Britain, of the army of Diocle'tian. Two churches were founded in the City of Legions, one in honor of St. Aaron and one in honor of his fellow-martyr, St. Julius. Newport was called Caerleon by the British.

... two others ... sealed their doctrine with
their blood;
St. Julius, and with him St. Aaron, have their
room
At Carleon, suffering death by Diocletian's doom.
Drayton, Polyolbion , xxiv, (1622).
