Augustine of Hippo (; ; 13 November 354 – 28 August 430), also known as Saint Augustine, was a Catholic philosopher and theologian.
Early life
Augustine was born in the year 354. His mother is believed to have been of Berber origin.
After growing up, he began to learn and write a lot about Christianity, and became a bishop in Hippo Regius, which was in modern-day Annaba, Algeria. He was highly influenced by archbishop Ambrose. Later in life, Augustine moved to Italy, and over the next years his religious ideology grew stronger, and he became a teacher.
