Hosius of Corduba

Hosius of Corduba (c. 2575 – 359), also known as Osius or Ossius, is a bishop of Cordova and one of the prominent advocates of what becomes Catholic Christianity in the Arian controversy which divides the IV century early Christian Church.

After Lactantius, he is the closest Christian advisor to the Emperor Constantine and guides the content of public utterances, such as Constantine's Oration to the Saints, addressed to the assembled bishops.

He was probably born in Roman Corduba (as it was then known) in Hispania, although a passage in Zosimus has sometimes been conjectured as the writer's belief that Hosius was a native of Egypt.
