- Trier
Having your own opinion can sometimes land you in hot water. And Bishop Paulinus discovered this first-hand. As a student of Bishop Maximin, he succeeded him in the mid-4th century as bishop of Trier, though found himself at loggerheads with Emperor Constantius II just a few years later. And this would have consequences: When Paulinus repeatedly refused to follow the will of the emperor, the emperor banished him to Phrygia, part of present-day Turkey, where the Trier bishop died a couple of years later. His adversary, Emperor Constantius II, only outlived him by a few years. And after much toing and froing, the Paulinus’ remains were finally able to be brought back to Trier in the late 4th century and buried in a specially erected church.
