Bishops of Colonia Agrippina, 88–784 All names before
Maternus II are to be approached with considerable skepticism, as little contemporary evidence is available. Maternus was present at a council in
Rome in 313. The bishops between Severinus and Charentius are also
apocryphal. Domitianus was the
Bishop of Maastricht (Mosa Traiectum). The given dates of office before
Gunther are also conjectural, at best. • Maternus I –128 • Paulinus • Marcellinus • Aquilinus • Levoldus –285 •
