Abstract

This paper discusses the role of an important bishop, Demophilus of Beroe/Constantinople, in the Arian controversy. Two issues are dealt with in particular: the role of Demophilus as representative of the most influential group of Arian/Homoean bishops, and his involvement in the politico-religious strategy of Constantinople at the time, when its episcopal see still had to affirm itself as the most important see in the Eastern part of the Empire.
