Anatolius was, in the late 570s, provincial governor of the Osrhoene in Roman Mesopotamia. Joh. Eph., EH 3.27-33, describes how this high-ranking official was discovered to be a pagan; he was arrested and brought to Constantinople, where the supposed presence of pagans in the imperial administration led to riots. Tiberius finally ordered a severe punishment of the alleged pagans and Anatolius was executed.
