[1] In the "Acts", which date back to the 8th century, it is said that Victor refused to continue his military service.

Dragged to the Hippodrome of the Circus in the presence of Maximian Herculean and his adviser Anulinus, he refused to betray his beliefs despite the torments to which he was subjected.

They were later moved to the oratory of San Vittore in Ciel d'Oro, originally a free-standing chapel, commissioned by bishop Maternus to hold the relics of Saint Victor.

Gregory of Tours in his Glory of the Martyrs said that Victor's intercession was effective in freeing captives.

[4] In 1576, Bishop Charles Borromeo had the relics returned to the rebuilt San Vittore al Corpo.
