Armogastes
Armogastes was a 5th-century Roman noble at the Vandal court in Africa who resisted conversion to Arianism.
He was enslaved and put to work in the mines, then as a cowherd. His feast day is 29 March.
Archinimus and Saturus suffered at the same time, and were also reprieved from death.
Life
Armogastes was described in the Roman Martyrology as a count.The text may be read as saying he was superintendent of the Theatre at Mascula, but this seems an unlikely occupation for a count.
Gaiseric, king of the Vandals in North Africa, renounced the Orthodox Church|Orthodox] faith when he was a youth and professed Arianism.
He expected all his followers to do the same.
Armogastes refused, even after torture, but Gaiseric did not want to make a martyr out of him, so made him a slave and cowherd.
He died around AD 463.
