Liberius

Liberius, a native of Rome, succeeded to the see of his native city in 352, on the death of Pope Julius I. For refusing to confirm the decree which condemned Athanasius he was in 355 banished to Thrace by the Emperor Constantius. But three years later he returned to Rome, expelled his rival, Felix II., and reseated himself on the papal throne. He died on 24th September 366. See ARIUS, and ATHANASIUS.
