Dioscorus then moved to depose Flavian and Eusebius of Dorylaeum on the grounds that they taught the Word had been made flesh and not just assumed flesh from the Virgin and that Christ had two natures.

The council did not read the letter, and paid no attention to the protests of Leo's legates, but deposed Flavian and Eusebius of Dorylaeum, who appealed to Rome.

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

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.

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, 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.

At the synod Eusebius of Dorylaeum presented Flavian with a letter, detailing his complaints against Eutyches, as well as making known his willingness to be a witness against him personally.

Flavian urged that Eutyches should be called to the synod to defend himself, but Eutyches refused to come as he had vowed to remain in his monastery “ as though it were a tomb .” Eusebius pressed his accusation, saying that there were enough witnesses at the synod to confirm his accusations and condemn Eutyches, but Flavian repeatedly sent for Eutyches to come and ask forgiveness.

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.

Flavian was beaten or somehow injured in the ensuing riot so that he died a short time later, but Eusebius found sanctuary with Pope Leo I through a letter of appeal.

Dioscorous was deposed, Eutyches was condemned a second time, and Eusebius of Dorylaeum was reinstated as bishop ; Flavian ’ s name was also cleared in the annulment of the decisions made at the Latrocinium.

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.

* Flavian, Eusebius, and T. A.

Josephus wrote all of his surviving works after his establishment in Rome ( c. AD 71 ) under the patronage of the Flavian Emperor Vespasian.

These were Domitian whose violent death in 96 ended the Flavian Dynasty, the co-emperor Publius Septimius Geta, whose memory was publicly expunged by his co-emperor brother Caracalla after he murdered him in 211, and in 311 Maximian, who was captured by Constantine the Great and then encouraged to commit suicide.

The Palestinian delegation of 16 bishops and Metropolitan Flavian of Philippi arrived 5 days after the date that had been set for opening the council, and aligned themselves with Cyril.

The building was constructed by emperors of the Flavian dynasty, hence its original name, after the reign of Emperor Nero.

A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father Vespasian upon his death, thus becoming the first Roman Emperor to come to the throne after his own father.

Through the intervention of John Chrysostom, soon after his elevation to the patriarchate of Constantinople in 398, and the influence of the emperor Theodosius I, Flavian was acknowledged in 399 as the sole legitimate bishop of Antioch.

Meletius ' most famous protégée John Chrysostom took further orders from Flavian ( after Meletius ' death ).

Flavian was soon posthumously enrolled among the saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and after some opposition he was also canonized by the Roman Catholic Church.

He became Patriarch through the influence of Pope Dioscorus I of Alexandria with Emperor Theodosius II, after the deposition of Flavian by the Second Council of Ephesus, having previously been the apocrisiarius or representative of Dioscorus with the emperor at Constantinople.

* 69 – Year of the Four Emperors: after the assassination of Galba, Otho and Vitellius briefly become emperors before Vespasian's accession to power in the end of the year ; Flavian dynasty begins

* Flavian Amphitheater ( Amphitheatrum Flavium ), the third largest Italian amphitheater after the Colosseum and the Capuan Amphitheater.

* A Flavian Amphitheatre ( Amphitheatrum Flavium ), the third largest Italian amphitheatre after the Colosseum and the Capuan Amphitheatre.

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

During reigns of the Flavian and Antonine emperors, the ordinary consuls tended to resign after a period of four months, and the elections were moved to 12 January of the year in which they were to hold office.

Leo provided his legates, one of whom died en route, with a letter addressed to Flavian of Constantinople explaining Rome's position in the controversy.

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.

This judgment is the more interesting as being in distinct conflict with the opinion of the bishop of Rome — Leo — who, departing from the policy of his predecessor Celestine, had written very strongly to Flavian in support of the doctrine of the two natures and one person.

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.

Owing to the purely legendary character of these Acts, we cannot use them as an argument to aid in the controversy whether there were two Christians of the name of Domitilla in the family of the Christian Flavian, or only one: the wife of the Consul Titus Flavius Clemens.

The Nervan-Antonine dynasty was a largely artificial one, chiefly built out more of adoption than blood relations, as in the Julio-Claudian or Flavian dynasties ( the first Emperor of this dynasty was an elderly, childless man, from the noble Cocceii Nervae ).

The worship of Egyptian deities in particular flourished under the Flavian dynasty, to an extent not seen again until the reign of Commodus.

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.

On the other hand, Nerva lacked widespread support in the Empire, and as a known Flavian loyalist, his track record would not have recommended him to the conspirators.

A favorable occasion for extending the authority of Rome in the East was offered in the renewal of the Christological controversy by Eutyches, who in the beginning of the conflict appealed to Leo and took refuge with him on his condemnation by Flavian.

One authority refers to him as Flavian.

At the end of 1968, the new abbot, the Reverend Flavian Burns, allowed him the freedom to undertake a tour of Asia, during which he met the Dalai Lama in India on three occasions, and also the Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen master, Chatral Rinpoche, followed by a solitary retreat near Darjeeling. In Darjeeling, he befriended, Dr. TY Pemba, a prominent member of the Tibetan community.

The speech of Flavian remains, concluding with this appeal to the bishop of Dorylaeum: " Let your reverence condescend to visit him and argue with him about the true faith, and if he shall be found in very truth to err, then he shall be called to our holy assembly, and shall answer for himself.

In the Roman Catholic Church St. Flavian is commemorated on February 18, the date assigned to him in the Roman Martyrology.

Flavian of Ricina is sometimes identified with him.

When Meletius was appointed bishop of Antioch in 361 he ordained Flavian to the priesthood, and on the death of Meletius in 381 Flavian was chosen to succeed him.

Certain Non-Chalcedonians, such as John Niciota, Patriarch of Alexandria, whose name he had inserted in the diptychs, at first stood aloof from him, because, though he accepted the Henotikon, he did not reject the Council of Chalcedon, and for the same reason Flavian II of Antioch and Elias of Jerusalem at first communicated with him.

With the support of Emperor Anastasius, the Miaphysites ousted Flavian in 512 and replaced him with their partisan Severus.

91 ), and as praetor ( 70 ) he maintained, in opposition to Vespasian, that the management of the finances ought to be left to the discretion of the senate ; he proposed that the Temple of Jupiter Best and Greatest, which had been destroyed in the Vitelline / Flavian civil war, should be restored at the public expense ; he saluted Vespasian by his private name, and did not recognize him as emperor in his praetorian edicts.
