Answer

No, he was not directly martyred for his faith. Maximus was an early Christian saint and bishop of Nola who is considered a confessor rather than a martyr, as he was not directly executed or persecuted for his religious beliefs. He faced hardships, false accusations, and exile during his lifetime due to his faith but ultimately died peacefully in 430 AD.
