Romanus of Condat was a fifth-century cleric and monastic leader who lived in the Condat region. Born around 390, he chose to live as a hermit at the age of thirty-five, eventually being joined by his brother Lupicinus. Together, they established several monastic communities, including Condat Abbey, which served as the foundation for the future town of Saint-Claude. In 444, he was ordained as a priest by Hilary of Arles.
