Person
Acacius of Caesarea
died 366
Bishop of Caesarea and Homoian leader
Attested. His leadership of the 359 minority and the 360 settlement is standard. No complete tally of his voters survives.
Acacius succeeded Eusebius as bishop of Caesarea. At Seleucia in 359 he led the minority that wanted a creed without substance language. His party, the Acacians or Homoians, prevailed at the court council of Constantinople in 360, which deposed Homoiousian leaders. He died in 366. He is not Acacius of Beroea, a later bishop.
