[QUOTE="talerman, post: 8212725, member: 89314"]ST. HILARY/ ILARIUS ( A lousy portrait, I am afraid, especially after St. Vultus of Lucca) Italy PARMA Ranuccio I Farnese Giulio n.d.(1602-08) St. Ilario,or Hilary (c.315-368) was born in Poitiers in a pagan family but became a Christian in his thirties and was elected bishop of Poitiers. A leading theologian, he was a strong opponent of the Arian heresy (called the Hammer of the Arians) and was forced to spend some years in exile in Phrygia (Turkey).
