Template:Eras of the Halakha Gamaliel VI was the last nasi of the ancient Jewish sanhedrin. He was executed in 425 at the orders of Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II for having authorized the building of new synagogues. Theodosius did not allow the appointment of a successor, thereby terminating the position. With him, therefore, the office expired. It had already been robbed of its privileges by a decree of the emperors Honorius and Theodosius II (dated 17 October 415), for Gamaliel's practice of permitting himself to disregard the discriminatory laws against the Jews, building new synagogues, and adjudicating disputes between Jews and Christians.

An imperial decree issued in 426 diverted the patriarchs' tax (post excessum patriarchorum) into the imperial treasury.

Gamaliel appears to have been a physician. Marcellus, a medical writer of the fifth century, mentions a remedy for diseases of the spleen which had been discovered not long before by "Gamalielus Patriarcha."
