He was accused of heresy by Domnus II of Antioch and Eusebius, bishop of Dorylaeum, at a synod presided over by Flavian at Constantinople in 448.

We know that in 498 he was staying at Edessa ; in or about 507, according to Theophanes, he was summoned by the emperor to Constantinople ; and he finally presided at a synod at Sidon which was the means of procuring the replacement of Flavian by Severus.

This synod, called the Council of Constantinople or sometimes referred to as the “ home synod ,” was presided over by Flavian in Constantinople.

Nevertheless, ancient sources allege poverty for the Flavian family at the time of Domitian's upbringing, even claiming Vespasian had fallen into disrepute under the emperors Caligula ( 37 – 41 ) and Nero ( 54 – 68 ).

Until the completion of the Flavian Palace on the Palatine Hill, the imperial court was situated at Alba or Circeo, and sometimes even farther afield.

His body was carried away on a common bier, and unceremoniously cremated by his nurse Phyllis, who later mingled the ashes with those of his niece Julia, at the Flavian temple.

As archdeacon under Pope Leo I, he fought vigorously for the rights of the Roman See and vigorously opposed the condemnation of Flavian of Constantinople at the Second Council of Ephesus in 449 to settle the question of Eutyches.

When orders are superposed one above another, as they are at the Flavian Amphitheater — the Colosseum — the natural progression is from sturdiest and plainest ( Doric ) at the bottom, to slenderest and richest ( Corinthian ) at the top.

However, at the time that the Pseudo-Bede wrote, the masculine noun coliseus was applied to the statue rather than to what was still known as the Flavian amphitheatre.

In 449, at the controversial Second Council of Ephesus Eutyches was reinstated and his chief opponents Eusebius, Domnus and Flavian, deposed.

Cremation burials then predominated until the reign of Emperor Flavian ( at the end of the I century AD ) around a hillside where the Roman city is located.

In 449, however, at the Second Council of Ephesus convened by Dioscorus of Alexandria, overawed by the presence of a large number of Egyptian monks, not only was Eutyches reinstated to his office, but Eusebius, Domnus and Flavian, his chief opponents, were deposed, and the Alexandrine doctrine of the " one nature " received the sanction of the church.

The council reinstated Eutyches and Flavian died shortly afterwards, on August 11, 449, Flavian died at Hypaepa in Lydia, Asia Minor from the injuries he received from this attack and was buried obscurely.

When Meletius died at the First Council of Constantinople in 378, Paulinus should have been accepted as the one bishop, but the Meletians secured the appointment of Flavian I of Antioch and the schism endured for some time longer, until John Chrysostom secured reconciliation between Flavian and the sees of Alexandria and Rome, and the Eustathians at Antioch accepted Flavian.

The council, with Dioscorus as the leader, decided to reinstate Eutyches and to depose Flavian, as well as Eusebius of Dorylaeum, Theoderet of Cyrrus, Ibas of Edessa, and Domnus II of Antioch.

The year after Eutyches was condemned in Constantinople by Flavian, a council was called by Theodosius II.

Flavian was the primary defendant at the council, as he was seen as the one who had deposed Eutyches, but Eusebius of Dorylaeum was also called.

He forced bishops under threat of violence to adopt the council ’ s proceedings and depose Flavian and Eusebius, which they did.

Eusebius brought a petition against Dioscorous and is recorded as speaking at the council: “… I have been wronged by Dioscorous ; the faith has been wronged ; Bishop Flavian was murdered.

Marcian had the bishops deposed by Dioscorus returned to their dioceses and had the body of Flavian brought to the capital to be buried honorably.

In his 15th letter ( to the bishops of Illyria ) he indicated that the church in Rome had finally agreed to recognize both Nectarius and Flavian.
