'''Dathus''' or '''Datus''' was [Bishop of Ravenna](/source/Bishop_of_Ravenna) during the late 2nd century. He was elected to succeed the previous bishop [Probus I](/source/Probus_I_of_Ravenna) when miraculously, a dove appeared above his head. 

According to [Andreas Agnellus](/source/Andreas_Agnellus), his remains may have been kept in the Church of St. Probus in [Classe](/source/Classe%2C_ancient_port_of_Ravenna), but this structure did not survive into Agnellus's day.<ref>{{Cite web |title=St. Dathus |url=https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=2829 |website=Catholic Online |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Agnellus of Ravenna |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt284wdr |title=The Book of Pontiffs of the Church of Ravenna (Medieval Texts in Translation) |last2=Deliyannis |first2=Deborah Mauskopf |publisher=Catholic University of America Press |year=2004 |isbn=978-0-8132-1358-3 |location=Washington, D.C. |pages=108 |language=en}}</ref>
