I've been reading a book that traces out the time frame from the Apostles to the Bishops. It is interesting that despite Tertulian's displeasure with the laxity of morals within the Catholic Church of 200 AD, he was very orthodox on such matters as the Trinity. I would say a number of Fathers who followed later on utilized his thoughts.

As for St. Augustine, he does follow the Latin tradition of St. Ambrose on the Trinity. Of course, it differs from the Eastern tradition on the Trinity. But it doesn't hurt to know both traditions, now does it, Kolokotronis?

LOL!!!!!!! No, of course not...but then again, we're on post 3127 on a subject that Roma and Orthodoxy agree on and it isn't our Orthodox progeny who are having the problem here. :)
