 Trophimus of Arles - Definition 

According to Catholic lore, Saint Trophimus of Arles or Saint Trophime was the first bishop of Arles, in today's southern France.

Under the co-Emperors Decius and Gratus (250-251 CE), Pope Fabian sent out seven bishops from Rome to Gaul, to preach the Gospel: Gatien to Tours, Trophimus to Arles, Paul to Narbonne, Saturninus to Toulouse, Denis to Paris, Austromoine to Clermont, and Martial to Limoges.

Saint Trophime does not rate a biography in the Catholic Encyclopedia, but the church at Arles dedicated to him, built from the 12th century onwards, is one of the glorious monuments of Romanesque architecture and sculpture in Provence.
