The Inventio also reports that in the late 4th century, Bishop Sabinus found the bones of St. Antoninus found. The relics were stored in one of their donors, St. Bishop Victor consecrated church outside the city walls transferred and buried in the local grave of Victor. The church was later temporarily consecrated to both saints, meanwhile St. Antoninus ( Sant'Antonino ).
