Piatus of Tournai (also Piaton, Platon, Piat, Piato) (died c. 286) was a Belgiansaint. He was a native of Benevento, Italy, and is traditionally said to have been sent by the pope to evangelize the cities of Chartres and Tournai. Tradition also states that he was ordained by Dionysios the Areopagite. He was martyred under Maximian by having the top of his skull sliced off. He may be recognized in depictions holding the sliced portion of his skull. Eligius later discovered Piatus' relics and made a reliquary for them.[1]
