Flavius Latinus (died 115) was a Christian martyr of the persecutions of Trajan.

Viator of Bergamo is a much later figure, and the reference to his earlier being a bishop of Brescia is doubted.^[2] The historical list of bishops of Brescia is not established so far back as the early persecutions in the 2nd century.^[3]
