Hieromartyr
Flavius Latinus of Brescia
Bishop of Brescia
According to tradition third Bishop of Brescia, martyred in the persecution of Trajan in the year 115.
Life
Saint Flavius Latinus, hieromartyr, is held to be the third bishop of Brescia, successor to Viator, killed in the persecution of Trajan, in the year 115. He is venerated in both the Catholic and the Orthodox Church and commemorated on 24 March.
But this is a tradition that has been called into question. Viator of Bergamo is a much later figure, of the fourth century, and the recollection of an earlier Viator, bishop of Brescia, is doubtful. The historical list of the bishops of Brescia does not extend back to the early persecutions of the second century. Also in question is whether Flavius was bishop of Brescia before his death.
