| ID | Title | E01108 | Augustine of Hippo, in his City of God (22.8), tells how an old man in Hippo Regius (Numidia, central North Africa) who prayed to the *Twenty Martyrs (martyrs of Hippo, S00703), with a famous memorial shrine (memoria) in the city, found a golden ring in the stomach of a fish; all at the beginning of the 5th c. Written in Latin in Hippo, 426/427. | E01121 | Augustine of Hippo, in his City of God (22.8), tells how a dead boy was brought back to life after his father laid his body on the memorial shrine of unnamed martyrs, possibly the *Twenty Martyrs (martyrs of Hippo, S00703), in Hippo Regius (Numidia, central North Africa). Written in Latin in Hippo, 426/427. | E03498 | Augustine of Hippo preaches a sermon on the feast of *Eulalia (virgin and martyr of Mérida, S00407), in which he also mentions other martyrs, all of them from Africa. Sermon 313G, delivered in Latin, probably in Hippo Regius (Numidia, central North Africa) in the early 410s. | E04009 | Augustine of Hippo preaches a sermon on the feast of the *Twenty Martyrs (of Hippo, including bishop Fidentius, Victoria and Valeria, S00703). He emphasises that it is the rightness of the cause, not the suffering itself, which makes a martyr, and presents the local saints as examples which are easier to follow than Christ or the Apostles.
