Zosimus (Greek: Ζώσιμος [ˈzosimos]; fl. 490s–510s) was a Greek historian who lived in Constantinople during the reign of the eastern Roman Emperor Anastasius I (491–518).[1] According to Photius, he was a comes, and held the office of "advocate" of the imperial treasury.[2] Zosimus was also known for condemning Constantine’s rejection of the traditional polytheistic religion.[3]
Little more is known about the life of Zosimus except that he was Greek and a pagan.[4] He was not a contemporary of the events of his books.[5]
