Saint Romanus of Subiaco (died ca. 550 AD) was a hermit in the area around Subiaco Italy.He is remembered as having assisted and influenced Saint Benedict of Nursia when the latter had just begun his life as a hermit. Romanus provided Benedict with clothing (a religious habit) food and housing (in the form of a cave above the river Anio which Benedict lived in for 3 years) (St. Gregory the Great Dialogi II i).
