Constantius of Lauriacum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Constantius von Lauriacum is the only proven bishop of the Roman city of Lauriacum (today Lorch near Enns in Upper Austria). He was the uncle of St. Antionius of Lérins , who in turn was brought up by St. Severin of Noricum . Ennodius reports on this in De vita beati Antonii (chap. 8ff.). Constantius as Bishop of Lauriacum mentions Eugippius in his Vita Sancti Severini :

»The citizens from the town of Lauriacum and the refugees from the castles upstream of the Danube had set up scouts at suspicious places […] Admonished by divine inspiration, the Servant of God [ sc .: Severin] instructed them with his visionary spirit that they should take all their poor belongings safely recovered within the city wall […]. He asked them to do this for four days, and when it was evening he sent a monk named Valens to St. Constantius, the bishop of the place [...] ”(chap. 30: 1f .; p. 91)
