Abstract
Potamius of Lisbon is hardly one of the more celebrated churchmen of the fourth century AD. His life is shrouded in obscurity: we do not know when he was born, when he became bishop, or when he died. He emerges into the light of history in the mid-350s when, during the western residence of the âArianâ emperor Constantius II, many bishops were called upon to adhere to the emperorâs preferred version of Christian orthodoxy â a version that would later be denounced as heresy after the triumph of Nicene Christology at the Council of Constantinople in 381. Potamiusâ actions during this period are instructive.
