Roman Catholic bishopric of Amelia

Flavius, Bishop of Amelia, seems to have been present at a synod held at Rome, 14 November, 465, by Pope Hilary.

Ughelli goes on to enumerate Tiburtius, Martinianus, and then a Sallustino present at a synod held in 502 under Pope Symmachus.

[5] A Bishop of Amelia still appears in 649 at the provincial synod held by Pope Martin at the Lateran.

The city of Amelia had great political importance during the eighth century, when between the opposition of the iconoclast Byzantine emperors, and the conquering Lombard power in the centre of Italy, the temporal power of the popes grew from day to day.
