Priscus of Nocera was a 3rd-century Catholic bishop who served as the first leader of the church in Nuceria. He is recognized as the patron saint of Nocera Inferiore and the diocese of Nocera Inferiore-Sarno. According to local tradition, he was once accused of heresy for celebrating mass alone at dawn, leading to a journey to Rome to face the Pope. After being exonerated, he is said to have returned to his see with a marble fountain provided by the pontiff.
