Saint '''Arsatius''' or '''Arsacius''' is a saint of whose life virtually nothing is known. He is said to have been a bishop of [[Milan]], who lived either around 400 or in the 6th century, and possibly a martyr, but there is no evidence. Because of the traditional connection with Milan, he is further supposed to have been a disciple of [[Ambrose|Saint Ambrose]], who was also Bishop of Milan, but there is no evidence of this either.<ref name=Munich>{{in lang|de}}[http://www.erzbistum-muenchen.de/Page000322.aspx Article about Arsatius and Ilmmünster on the Diocese of Munich website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100815055007/http://www.erzbistum-muenchen.de/Page000322.aspx |date=August 15, 2010 }}</ref><ref name=BBKL>{{BBKL|a/arsacius|band=15|autor=Ekkart Sauser|spalten=42-43}}</ref>
His relics were brought in 766 from [[Rome]] to [[Ilmmünster Monastery]] where a cultus grew up around them and where the well-known ''Arsatius-Basilika'' is still dedicated to him. They were moved to [[Munich]] in 1495, but returned to Ilmmünster in 1846.<ref name=Munich/> His feast day is 12 November.<ref name=Munich/><ref name=BBKL/>
