Maximianus of Constantinople
Maximianus of Constantinople († April 12, 434 ) was Nestorius' successor as Archbishop of Constantinople.
The Alexandrian archdeacon and Synkellos Epiphanius wrote Maximian a letter with an attached list of influential personalities in Constantinople whom the Patriarch Cyril of Alexandria had bribed in order to be able to return to his office from his captivity after the double council of Ephesus in the same year . The sums were so high that it exceeded the financial strength of the wealthy Alexandrian Church and he had to take out a loan of 1,500 pounds of gold.
