==Life== Almost nothing is known about the life and the episcopate of Castritian, except that he was bishop of Milan in mid 3rd-century, and that his corpse was allegedly buried in a cemetery in the area of Porta Romana, not far from the present Basilica of Saint Calimerius. His relics were later translated into the church of San Giovanni in Conca, which was demolished between the 19th and 20th century.
