Julian of Eclanum

Iulianus Aeclanensis

Born in Apulia and made bishop of Eclanum around 416, he refused to sign Pope Zosimus's condemnation of Pelagius and Caelestius in 418 and was deposed and exiled. He argued against Augustine on original sin, marriage, and concupiscence, and spent years in the East, where he found support from Theodore of Mopsuestia and Nestorius. He is thought to have died in Sicily around 454.
