Secundianus, Bishop of Singidunum

SECONDIANO, VESCOVO DI SINGIDUNO

Italian original Cite

SECUNDIANUS, Bishop of Singidunum. - In 366 he was still a priest and a follower of Ursacius and Valens, as appears from the letter addressed by them to Germinius, bishop of Sirmium (CSEL, 65, p. 180).

Having been made bishop, he was tried and condemned as a Homoian in 378 at Sirmium, but he appealed to the emperor Gratian, asking to be tried and heard in a general council, which could be convened only in 381 at Aquileia, under the direction of St. Ambrose. Despite his tergiversations, S. was unmasked as a heretic and condemned.
