Person
Ambrose of Milan
about 339–397
Bishop of Milan
Attested. The career is well documented in his letters and in Augustine.
Ambrose was a governor who was baptized and made bishop in 374 during a crowded election. He preached a Latin Nicene faith, resisted a Homoian court attempt to seize a basilica, and imposed public penance on Theodosius after a massacre at Thessalonica. Augustine names him as the preacher who led him to baptism.
