Bust of Saint Bassus

Saint Bassus of Nice (d. 250/251) is a 3rd-century Roman Catholic saint and martyr, traditionally the earliest named bishop of Nice.

He was active on the Côte d'Azur, and was martyred for his faith under the Emperor Decius by being burned with red-hot blades and pierced from head to feet by two large ship-building nails, one through each foot.

He is venerated as a saint. His feast day is 5 December. He is the patron saint of Cupra Marittima in Italy, where his body was taken after his death, and since 1922 or 1923 the second patron saint of Nice.
