St. Peter Chrysologus, Bishop of Ravenna and Doctor of the Church
Peter Chrysologus was Bishop of Ravenna in the 5th century, when the Italian city was the capital of the western Roman empire. He is famous for his homilies, and his preaching earned him the epithet “golden-worded” (Chrysologus). St Peter was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1729.
