Arianism was officially condemned as incorrect by the [[Council of Nicaea]] in 325, which gave its seal of authority to the established [[Holy Trinity|trinitarian]] view. The theology of the nature of Christ, including the Arian view, caused repeated religious and political turmoil im the [[Roman Empire]] up to the 5th Ecumenical Council in 553 AD. In particular, the biggest influence and conflict due to Arianism was from the barbarian tribes surrounding the Empire. They had generally been [[Christianized]], but mostly followed an Arian creed and opposed the Orthodox faith.

The barbarian tribes which invaded [[Rome]], and caused its fall in 476, were often Arians. The [[Visigoths]] and the [[Ostrogoths]], and especially [[Theoderic]], were followers of the Arian heresy. It would take centuries before the [[trinity|trinitarian]] view prevailed in those regions.
