Vigilius of Thapsus

Vigilius of Thapsus (before 484) also known as Vigilius Tapsensis, Vigilius Afer,[1] or Vergil of Tapso,[2] was a 5th-century Bishop of Thapsus in the province Byzacium, in what is now Tunisia,[3] and as well as a theological writer and polemicist.

After the Synod of 484, he was probably banished by the Vandal king Huneric, who supported Arianism, for his Trinitarian beliefs, along with other Catholics.[4][5] He may have fled to Constantinople.[6]
