unusual facts about Trophimus of Arles


Trophimus of Arles

Though the Martyrium romanum identifies him as the disciple of Paul, the identification is spurious.


Saint Martial

All that is known about him may be summed up thus: Under the Emperors Decius and Gratius (AD 250-251), Pope Fabian sent out seven bishops from Rome to Gaul to preach the Gospel: Gatien to Tours, Trophimus to Arles, Paul to Narbonne, Saturnin to Toulouse, Denis to Paris, Austromoine to Clermont, and Martial to Limoges.
