Saint Victorinus of Pettau

Victorinus was bishop of Poetovio, the Roman city that is now Ptuj in Slovenia. He wrote commentaries on many books of Scripture, and his commentary on the Book of Revelation is the oldest surviving Latin commentary on it. Saint Jerome counted him among the great Church writers and noted that he knew Greek better than Latin. He died as a martyr around 304, during the persecution of Diocletian.

He is the patron of the city of Ptuj, where his memory is kept with great affection, and is honored as one of the first saints of Slovenia.
