Pope Zosimus was the bishop of Rome from 18 March 417 to his death on 26 December 418.[1] He was born in Mesoraca, Calabria.[2] Zosimus took a decided part in the protracted dispute in Gaul as to the jurisdiction of the See of Arles over that of Vienne, giving energetic decisions in favour of the former, but without settling the controversy. His fractious temper coloured all the controversies in which he took part, in Gaul, Africa and Italy, including Rome, where at his death the clergy were very much divided.[3]
