Zeno (emperor)
Zeno (; grc-gre, Ζήνων, Zénōn; c. 425 – 9 April 491) was Eastern Roman emperor from 474 to 475 and again from 476 to 491. Domestic revolts and religious dissension plagued his reign, which nevertheless succeeded to some extent in foreign issues. His reign saw the end of the Western Roman Empire following the deposition of Romulus Augustus and the death of Julius Nepos, but he was credited with contributing much to stabilising the Eastern Empire. In ecclesiastical history, Zeno is associated with the '' Henotikon'' or "instrument of union", promulgated by him and signed by all the Eastern bishops, with the design of solving the monophysite controversy. The Henotikon was widely unpopular and eventually abandoned under Justin I. Biography Rise to power Early life Zeno's original name was Tarasis, and more accurately ''Tarasikodissa'' in his native Isaurian language ( la, Trascalissaeus).The sources call him "Tarasicodissa Rousombladadiotes", and for this reason ...

Roman Empire
The Roman Empire ( la, Imperium Romanum ; grc-gre, Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων, Basileía tôn Rhōmaíōn) was the post-Republican period of ancient Rome. As a polity, it included large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, and was ruled by emperors. From the accession of Caesar Augustus as the first Roman emperor to the military anarchy of the 3rd century, it was a Principate with Italia as the metropole of its provinces and the city of Rome as its sole capital. The Empire was later ruled by multiple emperors who shared control over the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. The city of Rome remained the nominal capital of both parts until AD 476 when the imperial insignia were sent to Constantinople following the capture of the Western capital of Ravenna by the Germanic barbarians. The adoption of Christianity as the state church of the Roman Empire in AD 380 and the fall of the Western ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Late Antiquity
Late antiquity is the time of transition from classical antiquity to the Middle Ages, generally spanning the 3rd–7th century in Europe and adjacent areas bordering the Mediterranean Basin. The popularization of this periodization in English has generally been credited to historian Peter Brown, after the publication of his seminal work '' The World of Late Antiquity'' (1971). Precise boundaries for the period are a continuing matter of debate, but Brown proposes a period between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD. Generally, it can be thought of as from the end of the Roman Empire's Crisis of the Third Century (235–284) to the early Muslim conquests (622–750), or as roughly contemporary with the Sasanian Empire (224–651). In the West its end was earlier, with the start of the Early Middle Ages typically placed in the 6th century, or earlier on the edges of the Western Roman Empire. The Roman Empire underwent considerable social, cultural and organizational changes starting wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zenopolis (Isauria)
Zenopolis ( grc, Ζηνούπολις) was an ancient Roman and Byzantine city in Isauria. Its site is located near Elmayurdu in Asiatic Turkey. History This city was the birthplace of Emperor Zeno (474–491), and was renamed in his honour. Its previous name was Rusumblada, according to Ramsay, but the author of the entry on Rusumblada in ''Paulys Real-Encyclopaedie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft'' considers this uncertain. Its modern name is Isnebol. George of Cyprus mentioned it in the 7th century, as did Constantine Porphyrogenitus in the 10th century, as a city of the Isaurian Decapolis. Bishopric The city is recorded as a bishopric in the 6th-century ''Notitia Episcopatuum'' of the Patriarchate of Antioch, but in about 732 Isauria was attached to the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Le Quien mentions two bishops: * Eulalius (), at the Third Council of Constantinople (681) * Marcus, at the Second Council of Nicaea (787) The Catholic Church's list of titular sees ...

Zenopolis (Lycia)
Zenopolis ( el, Ζηνούπολις) was an ancient Roman and Byzantine city and episcopal see variously placed in Lycia or in neighbouring Pamphylia. At the Second Council of Constantinople (553), one bishop signed as "Gennadius by the mercy of God bishop of the Zenopolitans, a city of the province of Pamphylia". The acts of the Second Council of Nicaea (787), on the other hand. bear the signature of Σταυράκιος ἐπίσκοπος Ζηνοπόλεως (Stauracius bishop of Zenopolis), who sat with the bishops of Lycia. In about 940, the ''Notitia Episcopatuum'' of Constantine Porphyrogenitus listed a Zenopolis in Pamphylia. In his ''Origines Ecclesiasticae'', Joseph Bingham gave Zenopolis as the name of two distinct cities, one in Lycia, the other in Pamphylia, and indicates that the Pamphylian see was also called Diciozanabrus. Le Quien interpreted the references instead as concerning a single city that could be viewed as part of either of the two contiguous provin ...
