Profile

Little is known of his early life. 31st pope in 310. His papacy lasted only four months, most of which he spent in exile in Sicily due to disturbances over how to deal with Christians who lapsed from the faith during the persecutions of Diocletian, and then came back to it. Eusebius wanted to welcome them back, after penance.
