Acacius of Caesarea (d. 365), Arian theologian. He succeeded Eusebius in the see of Caesarea (in Palestine) in 341, but was pronounced deposed by the Council of Sardica (343). In 359 he proposed a Homoean Creed at the Council of Seleucia. He signed the Creed of Nicaea in 363 but returned to Arianism and was deposed in 365. His followers (‘Acacians’) were a distinct and important theological party between 357 and 361.
