Anastasius II, pope (
496-
498). He lived in the time of the schism of
Acacius of Constantinople. He showed some tendency towards conciliation, and thus brought upon himself the lively reproaches of the author of the
Liber Pontificalis. On the strength of this tradition,
Dante placed this pope in
Hell.
- preceded by Pope Gelasius I (492-496)
- succeeded by Pope Symmachus (498-514)
