Quintus of Capua

Saint Quintus, hieromartyr, was Bishop of Capua, from November 260 to 9 April 270, successor of Saint Augustine. He died as a martyr around the year 270. He is commemorated on 9 April.

He is believed to have been a native of Capua. He received episcopal ordination in 260. Some hold that he suffered together with Saint Quartus, venerated as bishop of Terracina. Our source says that he passed to the Lord after the year 269, on 9 April.

His body rests in the cathedral of the city, in a silver casket. The next bishop of Capua known from historical sources was Saint Aristaeus.
