Saint Domitius (Domice) of Amiens (fl. 8th century) is a French saint, venerated especially in the diocese of Amiens.
A former canon of Notre-Dame of Amiens, Domitius had given up his prebend to live a solitary life.[1] Based on the readings for his office, hagiographer Laurentius Surius says that Domitius was not a priest, but a deacon of the church of Amiens[2] who became a hermit at Saint-Acheul along the banks of the Avre.[3] He is remembered for providing spiritual guidance to Saint Ulphia.[4]
One of the statues in the portal of Amiens Cathedral has been identified as Domitius.[5][6] There is also a painting of Domitius with Saint Ulphia in the cathedral. The painting is attributed to the nineteenth century painter, Jean de Franqueville.
Domitius is commemorated on October 23.[2] He is not listed in the 2004 revised edition of the Roman Martyrology.[3]
