===Arianism across the Roman Empire===
As a variant of the then [[Roman Catholicism]], the Arians asserted that they were the true Catholics and that the [[Athanasians]], [[Nestorians]] and [[Eutychians]] were the real heretics. While defeated at the Council, the belief entered its golden age with the death of [[Constantine|Constantine the Great]] and the ascension of his son [[Constantius II]] who adopted Arianism and then ordered that all opponents in both the East and West ought to be exiled (including [[Pope Liberius]]).
