Licinius of Angers
Licinius of Angers (also known as Saint Lezin, or Lésin) (c.540–c.610) was a Frankish nobleman and bishop of Angers, celebrated as Catholic saint on 13 February.
Lucinius was born about 540 and sent to the court of King Chlothar I when about 20. Chlothar's son King Chilperic I made him governor of Angers. Upon the death of Bishop Audouin in about 600, he was also made bishop of Angers by King Chlothar II.
He founded a monastery and a Church both dedicated
although he never won a triumph). Licinius Crassus is perhaps best known for his refusal to leave Italy, as Fabius wanted, which allowed his co-consul Scipio to take Sicily as his province and eventually invade Africa.
Licinius Crassus was elected to the following positions:
- Pontifex Maximus ca. 212 BC (held that position until his death in 183 BC)
- curule aedile ca. 212/211 BC
- censor in 210 BC, resigned without starting the "lustrum," when his colleague died immediately
