Abstract

The role of the comes Acacius under Constantine is re-examined in detail. It is argued that it was as a comes consistorianus that he was present at the Council of Antioch in 327, and that it was he who presided at the festivities which accompanied the Dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, September 335. Acacius, it is claimed, acted as Constantine's senior ecclesiastical adviser and troubleshooter from c.327, fulfilling duties of a type that had previously been performed by Bishop Ossius of Cordova.
