Acacius of Caesarea
bishop of Caesarea
Years: 300 - 366
Acacius of Caesarea (died 366) is a Christian bishop, the pupil and successor in the Palestinian see of Caesarea of Eusebius 340, whose life he writes.
He is remembered chiefly for his bitter opposition to St. Cyril of Jerusalem and for the part he is afterwards enabled to play in the more acute stages of the Arian controversy.
In the famous twenty-first oration of St. Gregory Nazianzen the author speaks of him as being "the tongue of the Arians".
