TIBURTIUS, Valerian, and Maximus, Saints, Martyrs. - The relationship between V. and T. is attested only by the Acta et passio beatissimae martyris Caeciliae, Valeriani et Tiburtii.
In these, V. is given as the husband of St. Cecilia and T. as her brother-in-law, while M. is the "cornicularius" of the prefect Almachius, converted by V. and buried by Cecilia in a sarcophagus bearing the image of the phoenix near V. and T. (H. Delehaye, Etude sur le légendier romain, Brussels 1936, pp. 73-93, 194-220). In the Leonine Sacramentary, which is mutilated, in the month of April there is a fragment of a Mass in honor of T. alone; in the Gregorian Sacramentary and in the Neapolitan Marble Calendar only V. and T. are commemorated; the Hieronymian Martyrology indicates the tombs of the three martyrs on April 14 on the Via Appia, "in cimitero Praetextati"; on April 21 "in cimitero Callisti" and on August 11, to T. martyr deposited on the Via Labicana "inter duas lauros," V. was also interpolated by error, together with Cecilia. The oils that burned on the tombs of the three martyrs were brought to Queen Theodelinda in the time of Gregory the Great (R. Valentini-G. Zucchetti, Codice topogr. della città di Roma, II, Rome 1942, pp. 44-45). In the 7th century the tombs of the three martyrs are indicated on the Via Appia "in ecclesia" by the pilgrims' itineraries (ibid., pp. 86, 111, 149). This building above ground is mentioned by the Liber Pontificalis in the biographies of John III, who would also have consecrated bishops there (I, p. 305 ff.), of Gregory III, who restored it (ibid., I, p. 420), as later did Adrian I (ibid., p. 509). Paschal I (817-24) would have translated the bodies of the three martyrs and of St. Cecilia from the cemetery of Praetextatus to the basilica of St. Cecilia in Trastevere, and he offered for the altar of that same basilica a fabric with the scene of an angel presenting the crown to the martyrs Cecilia, V. and T. (ibid., II, pp. 56-57).
