Further to Protus of Aquileia:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, please replace the second paragraph (whose supposition that the Protus depicted in the procession of male saints in Ravenna's Sant'Apollinare Nuovo is today's saint was incorrect) with the following:
A dedication to Protus on display in the Antiquarium at San Canzian d'Isonzo:
