===Arianism across the Roman Empire===
===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]]).

This continued until the next wave of Emperors spread their wings across the empire. Under [[Julian|Julian the Apostate]], the next Emperor, all exiled bishops were allowed back, in part to promote infighting among Christians.<ref>http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Arianism</ref> Arianism's sudden rise dissipated when [[Valentinian]], a trinitarian became Emperor in the West followed a decade later by [[Theodius]], a trinitarian, in the East. Religious uniformity was again restored when another religious council reiterated that Arianism was a heresy (379).
