471 CE

Zeno, while living in Antioch with his family, sympathizes with the Monophysite views of Peter the Fuller, and supports him against his opponent, the Chalcedonian bishop Martyrius.

Zeno allows the arrival in Antioch from nearby monasteries of monks who increase the number of Peter's followers, and does not repress effectively their violence.

Martyrius goes to Constantinople, to ask Emperor Leo for help, but returning to Antioch, he is informed that Peter had been elected bishop; Martyrius resigns.

Leo reacts, ordering the exile of Peter and on June 1, 471, addressing to Zeno a law that forbids the monks to leave their monasteries and to promote rebellion.

In 470/471, Zeno has also to deal with an invasion of Sanni, who attack Roman Armenia.
