Sebastian was urban prefect of Constantinople in 580 when rioting broke out as a result of the pagan affair. He managed to prevent further destructions in the city and warned the emperor. Tiberius replaced him with Julian as soon as the situation had calmed down, as is narrated in Joh. Eph., EH 3.32.
