Justus of Acerenza

Saint Justus was Bishop of Acerenza, in Italy, at the end of the fifth century. He died around the year 500 and was venerated as a saint.

The proof that he took part in the synod in Rome in the year 499 is preserved in the correspondence of Pope Symmachus. Pope Gelasius I mentioned him in a letter, calling him "Justus, bishop of Acherontia". Justus died a year later. Our sources do not give the day of his commemoration and do not say more about his life.
