An early Bishop of Ravenna, reposed around 190.
Life
Saint Datus of Ravenna (also Dathus) was bishop of Ravenna in Italy in the late second century and reposed around 190. He was elected to succeed Bishop Probus I when, miraculously, a dove appeared above his head. According to Andreas Agnellus, his remains may have been kept in the church of Saint Probus at Classe, but this structure did not survive into Agnellus's day.
He is commemorated on 3 July among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (a saint of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
