 Ricina was destroyed by the Goths during the fifth and sixth centuries, and its inhabitants emigrated to Recanati, thus spreading Flavian’s cult.Other groups of refugees carried the relics of the saint in the direction of Tolentino, erecting an oratory in honor of Flavian, on a site that may have been associated with a pagan deity.On the site of this oratory, the Benedictine Rambona Abbey still conserves Flavian's relics.
