Feastday: March 24
Death: 115
Third bishop of Brescia, Italy. He was called Flavius Latinus and was a successor of St. Viator. Latinus was imprisoned and tortured in the anti-Christian persecutions of that era.
Flavius Latinus (died 115) was a Christian martyr of the persecutions of Trajan.
He is said to be the third bishop of Brescia, successor to Saint Viator. This tradition is, however, questioned. Viator of Bergamo is a much later figure, and the reference to his earlier being a bishop of Brescia is doubted. The historical list of bishops of Brescia is not established so far back as the early persecutions in the 2nd century.
He is a Catholic and Orthodox saint, feast day March 24.
