Oh absolutely, religious division had been a problem for a while in the East, especially when the monophysites. For now, Arcadius needs to buy himself space and time for his rivals whilst he is still a minor, so he is choosing competent soldiers and administration with loyalty to him, and Anastasius is the best option he has right now, at least in regard to administration.

Sorry I haven't commented on your post, i has been a busy time for me. Glad you've enjoyed it so far. Ballio won't be dealt with yet, that journey is only beginning.
As for Sidonius or Avitus' children, it is certainly a possibility. Sidonius will likely make an appearance in the TL. As for the Children of Avitus, I cannot say for sure.
The west being around means that Chalcedonian thought is by far the vast majority of citizens, so maybe there's less concern over the Monophosites being a major threat. Therefore, the imperial leadership could be more... pliable in their religious tolerance, given there's less chance for the heresy to overcome orthodoxy (and the other way around for the monophysites)
Don't fully remember. It was probably initially a typo. That said I've stuck with it because A. There are individuals with the double c in their name and B. I like to think of it as a way to tell that while he is now a Roman citizen, he not considered a true Roman.
