Nicetas of Aquileia was a 5th-century metropolitan and archbishop who led the see of Aquileia from 454 until his death in 485. During a period of significant instability caused by migrations from the Eurasian Steppe, he relocated his seat to the island of Grado to protect his followers from various attacks. Although his historical identity has occasionally been confused with Nicetas of Remesiana, he is recognized as a saint within the Catholic tradition.
