                        Leo I was one of the most influential bishops of Rome, considerably enlarging the power of the papacy. He acted as leader of his city at a time when the western emperors increasingly became powerless figureheads. Theologically, he is famous as the author of the so-called "Tome of Leo", a treatise in which he insisted that Christ be understood in two natures, fully divine and fully human. This view was accepted at the council of Chalcedon in 451, but proved a decisive bone of contention with the supporters of a miaphysite Christology who accused Leo of splitting Christ into two.
