Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

a martyr, was born at Perugia. His upright character gained for him the appointment of bishop of his native city. Some vears afterwards he was arrested, conducted to Assisi, and beheaded near Yypsello or Foligno. According to the Bibliotheque Sacree the life of this saint, as published by the Bollandists, is not trustworthy. It is certain that the worship of St. Constantius is very ancient, and that there is a church near Perugia which bears his name, also a district of Foligno which is called the country of St. Constantius. He is honored January 29. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
