Years: 501 - 501
The senator Rufius Postumius Festus, a supporter of Laurentius, accuses Symmachus of various crimes in 501.
The initial charge is that Symmachus celebrates Easter on the wrong date.
Theodoric summons him to Ariminum to respond to the charge.
The pope arrives only to discover a number of other charges, including unchastity and the misuse of church property, will also be brought against him.
Symmachus panics, fleeing from Ariminum in the middle of the night with only one companion.
His flight proves to be a miscalculation, as it is regarded as an admission of guilt.
