Aaron, St.
[also known as
Saint Aaron of Caerleon]
, a Briton, who suffered martyrdom with
another, St. Julius, during the persecution under the emperor Dioclesian, in the year 303, and about the same
time with St. Alban, the protomartyr of Britain. What
the British names of Aaron and Julius were, we are not
told; nor have we any particulars of their death. They
had each a church erected to his memory in the city of
Caer-Leon, the antient metropolis of Wales, and their
festival is placed, in the Roman Martyrology, on the first
of July.3
