The Life of St. Alypius
Alypius grew up in Thagaste with Augustine and studied under him. He followed his friend to Rome and Milan, sharing his questions and his search for truth.
In the garden in Milan he was at Augustine's side when both decided to follow Christ, and they were baptized together by St. Ambrose in 387. Alypius later returned to Africa and served as Bishop of Thagaste.
