Athanasius of Alexandria, in his Apologia ad Constantium^[3]^:{{{3}}}, mentioned that Protasius was with him when he spoke to the Roman Emperor Constantius II; this episode can be dated about 342 or 343.^[4]^:{{{3}}} In 343, Protasius attended the Council of Sardica and signed its decrees, standing up against the Arians and supporting the faith of the Council of Nicaea.^[2]^:{{{3}}}

Protasius died about 343 on November 24. His body was buried in Milan in the Church of San Vittore al Corpo (Saint Victor Maurus), where it is venerated stll. A late tradition, with no historical basis, associates Protasius with a Milanese family, the Algisi.^[4]^:{{{3}}}
