Years: 450 - 450
Ravenna’s bishop, Peter Chrysologus (the surname means “golden-worded”; it will be added to his name at a later date, probably to create a Western counterpart to the Eastern patriarch St. John Chrysostom) writes a sympathetic letter to the Monophysite theologian Eutyches, advising obedience to Rome in matters of faith.
Dying in about 450, Chrysologus is remembered for his sermons, characterized by brevity and classical rhetoric.
