History
Legend makes Albenga between the years 121 and 125 the scene of the martyrdom of Calocerus of Brescia (Calogero), an officer of the court of Hadrian. But the Acts of his martyrdom, together with those of Faustinus and Jovita with which they are incorporated, are not historically verified.
The first bishop of whom we know anything is Quintius, who in the year 451 signed the Synodal Letter of Eusebius, Bishop of Milan, to Pope Leo I, in which the condemnation of Nestorius and Eutyches was sanctioned.
