From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicetas of Remesiana (Romatiana) (c. 335414) was the bishop of the Thracian Gothes and Dacians in what is now [[Bulgaria]. It was Nicetas who converted "those mountain wolves", the Bessi.

He is identified by some modern scholars as author of the early Christian hymn of praise, Te Deum, traditionally ascribed to Saints Ambrose and Augustine. Nicetas of Remesiana is the patron saint of Romania. He belonged to the Illyrian tribe of Dardani.
