According to tradition, Placidus was a general in the Roman army of Trajan, but converted to Christianity after a hunting party in which he had seen a glowing cross in the antlers of a deer. After his conversion he adopted the name Eustachius. Because he was canonized he is also known as St. Eustachius.
When it became known that Eustachius had become a Christian, he was dispossessed in imitation of Job have and good, and his wife and children were arrested. As a general, however, Emperor Trajan called him back to defend the city against the barbarians. When Eustachius and his family refuse to thank the gods after the victory won, Trajan's successor Hadrian ignites them in anger, throws them in front of the lions and has them boil in a bronze cauldron.
