Saint Caesarius of Arles (Latin:Caesarius Arelatensis; 468/470 – 27 August 542 AD), sometimes called "of Chalon" (Cabillonensis or Cabellinensis) from his birthplace Chalon-sur-Saône, was the foremost ecclesiastic of his generation in Merovingian Gaul.. Caesarius is considered to be of the last generation of church leaders of Gaul that worked to promote large-scale ascetic elements into the Western Christian tradition. William E. Klingshirn’s study of Caesarius depicts Caesarius as having the reputation of a "popular preacher of great fervour and enduring influence." In all the Christian West, only Gregory the Great and Gregory of Tours overshadow him. Among Caesarius's greatest influences were Augustine of Hippo, Pomerius, and Cassian.
