Anthimus of Tyana was a Christian bishop of the Cappadocian city of Tyana. Tyana increased in prominence when Roman Emperor Valens divided Cappadocia into two provinces and Tyana became the capital of Cappadocian Secundus in 371. This led to the conflict with Basil of Caesarea (the previous capital of the combined Cappadocia), who had only become bishop there in 370, for which Anthimus of Tyana is best known.

  • Anthimus of Tyana was a Christian bishop of the Cappadocian city of Tyana. Tyana increased in prominence when Roman Emperor Valens divided Cappadocia into two provinces and Tyana became the capital of Cappadocian Secundus in 371. This led to the conflict with Basil of Caesarea (the previous capital of the combined Cappadocia), who had only become bishop there in 370, for which Anthimus of Tyana is best known. Anthimus asserted that the change in his city's political status should be matched with a change in its religious status and declared himself in authority over several Cappadocian towns in his new province which had previously been under Basil's oversight. His success in enforcing these claims within his province was aided by the presence of Arians who did not wish to be under Basil's authority, though the evidence points against Anthimus himself being Arian. The conflict became physical at one point when Basil and his friend Gregory of Nazianzus set out with a mule train to collect supplies from the monastery of St. Orestes, which was under Basil's authority. Some of Anthimus' retainers blocked their path close to St. Orestes, near Sasima, and a scuffle broke out. In 372 as a part of the conflict Basil set up Gregory of Nazianzus as bishop of the small town of Sasima which Anthimus claimed authority over. It was little more than a junction of roads and previously had no bishop. Now it gained a bishop from each side, with Anthimus' choice staying. Likewise Basil made his younger brother Gregory bishop of to aid in the conflict. He attempted to establish his authority at Doara by similar means. Basil and Anthimus later settled their differences; Eusebius of Samosata seems to have mediated the conflict and each bishop was accepted as having authority over his own region. At some point in the process Nazianzus was acknowledged to owe its allegiance to Tyana. Before complete peace came to prevail between Anthimus and Basil a new upset emerged with Basil over Anthimus' willingness to accept a candidate named Faustus for installation as a bishop in Armenia. Faustus had first come to Basil and been turned down until such time as Theodotus of Nicopolis and other Armenian bishops could be consulted, but upon turning to Anthimus he received his request. In any case by 375 Gregory considered Anthimus to be in complete agreement with him. Anthimus was described as elderly when this conflict began, and we hear little more of him after its end. The most significant impact of these events was a break in affection between Gregory of Nazianzus and Basil over the pressure Basil had placed on him to take his new role. That break lasted to Basil's death in 379. (en)
  • Antimo de Tiana fue un obispo cristiano de la ciudad capadocia de Tiana. Tiana aumentó su prominencia cuando el emperador romano Valente dividió Capadocia en dos provincias y Tiana pasó a ser la capital de Cappadocian Secundus en 371. Esto le llevó a un conflicto con Basilio de Cesarea, de Cesarea (la anterior capital de toda Capadocia), quien sólo se convirtió en obispo allí en 370, que es por lo que más se conoce a Antimo de Tiana. Antimo afirmó que el cambio en el estatus político de la ciudad debía conllevar un cambio en su estatus religioso y se declaró a sí mismo con autoridad sobre varias ciudades capadocias de la nueva provincia que previamente habían sido supervisadas por Basilio. Su éxito al respecto se basaba también en la existencia en la provincia de arrianos que no deseaban caer bajo la autoridad de Basilio, aunque las evidencias están en contra de un arrianismo de Antimo.​ El conflicto se hizo físico cuando Basilio y su amigo Gregorio Nacianceno marcharon con una recua de mulas a recoger provisiones del monasterio de San Orestes, que estaba bajo la autoridad de Basilio. Algunos defensores de Antimo bloquearon su camino cerca de San Orestes, junto a Sasima, y estalló una pelea. En 372 como parte del conflicto, Basilio envió a Gregorio Nacianceno como obispo de la pequeña ciudad de Sasima que Antimo decía que estaba bajo su autoridad, Era poco más que un cruce de caminos​ y antes no tenía obispo. Ahora ganó un obispo de cada lado, permaneciendo la elección de Antimo. Igualmente, Basilio hizo de su hermano menor, Gregorio obispo de Nisa para ayudar en el conflicto. Intentó establecer su autoridad en Doara por medios parecidos. Basilio y Antimo más tarde arreglaron sus diferencias; Eusebio de Samosata parece haber mediado en el conflicto y se aceptó que cada obispo tuviera autoridad sobre su propia región. En algún momento del proceso se reconoció que Nacianzo tenía su propia alianza con Tiana. Antes de que llegara la paz definitiva entre Antimo y Basilio surgió un nuevo disgusto con Basilio sobre el deseo de Antimo de aceptar un candidato llamado Fausto para su instalación como obispo en Armenia. Fausto primero había acudido a Basilio que lo rechazó hasta que se pudiera consultar a Teodoto de Nicópolis y otros obispos armenios, pero al recurrir a Antimo, su petición se vio satisfecha.​ De cualquier manera, para el año 375 Gregorio consideró que Antimo estaba en completo acuerdo con él. Antimo fue descrito como mayor cuando este conflicto empezó, y poco más se sabe de él después de que acabara. El impacto más significativo de estos acontecimientos fue la ruptura del afecto entre Gregorio Nacianceno y Basilio por la presión que Basilio había ejercido sobre Gregorio para que asumiera su nuevo cargo. Esa ruptura duraría hasta la muerte de Basilio en 379. (es)
  • Ântimo de Tiana foi um bispo cristão na cidade capadócia de Tiana, uma cidade que se tornou muito proeminente quando o imperador romano Valente dividiu a Capadócia em duas províncias, com ela se tornando a capital da chamada Capadócia Secunda em 371.
