The Council of Ariminum, also known as the Council of Rimini, was an early Christian church synod in Ariminum, modern-day Rimini, in 359. Called by Roman Emperor Constantius II to resolve the Arian controversy, the Council of Ariminum for western bishops paralleled the Council of Seleucia for eastern bishops.[1][2]
Though the Council of Ariminum concluded in favour of the Nicene Creed by 21 July 359,[3][4] its consensus was overturned on 10 October 359, when the council's envoys to Constantius accepted a Homoean creed.[2][3][5] Bishops remaining at Ariminum were forced to assent to the creed.[5][6] Pope Liberius later declared that the Council of Ariminum was held without authority.[5]
