He is known for his opposition and suppression of simony in his diocese, with the support of Pope Gregory the Great. In 609 Anastasius is said to have been murdered during an uprising of Syrian Jews against Emperor Phocas, although some Monophysite locals or soldiers have also been suggested.^[1]^[2]

Anastasius is one of the 140 Colonnade saints which adorn St. Peter's Square.
