Topic: Himerius of Nicomedia


  
  Patriarch Maximianus of Constantinople - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maximian sent his synodical to the Easterns as to the others.
Communion was refused by bishop Helladius of Tarsus; and, we may conclude, by Eutherius of Tyana, Himerius of Nicomedia, and Dorotheus of Martianopolis, as Maximian deposed them.
John of Antioch approved the refusal of the bishop of Tarsus, and praised him for having declined to insert the name of Maximian in the diptychs of his church.

 Book IV
Since, however, the exercise of their talents was of great service to the Church, tending in a high degree to the maintenance of the catholic faith, the nature of my history obliges me to take particular notice of these two persons.
In their youth they were pupils at Athens of Himerius (2) and Prohaeresius, (3) the most celebrated sophists of that age: subsequently they frequented the school of Libanius (4) at Antioch in Syria, where they cultivated rhetoric to the utmost.
Having been deemed worthy of the profession of sophistry, they were urged by many of their friends to enter the profession of teaching eloquence; others would have persuaded them to practice law: but despising both these pursuits, they abandoned their former studies, and embraced the monastic life.

The Arian heretics were stirred to revolt, and commenced a violent persecution against those who had participated in the ordination of Evagrius.

 Roman Emperors DIR Gallus Caesar
It is often assumed on the basis of Ammianus 22.9.4, which refers only to Julian, that both Gallus and his half-brother were entrusted to the care of Eusebius, Bishop of Nicomedia (who was in some way related to Julian) in that same city.
A fragment of an oration delivered (perhaps slightly later) by Himerius to Constantius (Photius Bibl.
There Gallus may have summoned Julian to appear with him in the theater, an action which may explain the suspicions the rendezvous of the half-brothers aroused in Constantius.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.8.18   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Such an approach to Themistius helps to account for the distinctive nature of his oratory: in his imperial orations, he usually began with an abstract discussion of a philosophical topic (such as justice) and subsequently worked in elements of panegyric (for example, by citing instances where the emperor fulfilled the ideal of justice).
This pattern sets the speeches of Themistius apart from those of contemporary orators such as Libanius and Himerius, and indeed Themistius always considered himself primarily a philosopher.
The practice of rhetoric or philosophy by itself was not sufficient.

 History of the Popes
The next year at a conference in Nicomedia, Galerius urged the Emperor to extend himself against the Christians.
When a rash Christian actually tore down the imperial edict right under the imperial nose at Nicomedia and two very convenient fires broke out in the imperial palace, Diocletian, enraged, took off the gloves.
The occasion of this decretal was a letter from Himerius, bishop of Tarragona in Spain, who wrote to Pope Damasus asking for his decision in several matters of discipline.
