AUXENTIUS (fl. c. 370)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 50 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUXENTIUS (fl. c. 370) , of Cappadocia, an Arian theologian of some
eminence
  (see ARlus). When
Constantine
  deposed the orthodox bishops who resisted,
Auxentius
  was installed into the seat of
Dionysius
 ,
bishop
  of
Milan
 , and came to be regarded as the
great
  opponent of the Nicene
doctrine
  in the West. So prominent did he become, that he was specially mentioned by name in the condemnatory decree of the synod which Damasus,
bishop
  of Rome, urged by Athanasius, convened in defence of the Nicene
doctrine
  (A.D. 369). When the orthodox emperor Valentinian ascended the throne,
Auxentius
  was left undisturbed in his diocese, but his theological doctrines were publicly attacked by Hilary of Poitiers.
The
chief
  source of information about him is the Liber contra Auxentium in the
Benedictine
  edition of the works of Hilary.
