Livanios was the leader of the Thanasioi heretical rebellion against the rule of Avtokrator Krispos and the Videssian orthodoxy. He claimed to be addressing grievances against the orthodox religion, but was really motivated by political ambition supported by Makuran. He held off imperial forces for over year, even holding Krispos' son prisoner, but was ultimately crushed. He was identified in a group of prisoners, quickly condemned by Krispos himself, and executed.

Livanios was the father of Olyvria, who eloped with and later married Phostis.
