Theodosius III
Theodosius III () was Byzantine emperor from to 25 March 717. Before rising to power and seizing the throne of the Byzantine Empire, he was a tax collector in Adramyttium. In 715, the Byzantine navy and the troops of the Opsician Theme, one of the Byzantine provinces, revolted against Emperor Anastasius II (), acclaiming the reluctant Theodosius as emperor. Theodosius led his troops to Chrysopolis and then Constantinople, the capital, seizing the city in November 715. Anastasius did not surrender until several months later, accepting exile in a monastery in return for safety. Many themes viewed Theodosius to be a puppet of the troops of the Opsician Theme, and his legitimacy was denied by the Anatolics and the Armeniacs under their respective (generals) Leo the Isaurian and Artabasdos. Leo declared himself emperor in the summer of 716 and allied himself with the Umayyad Caliphate, the Islamic empire; Theodosius sought aid from the Bulgarians under Khan Tervel (), sett ...

Theodosius (son Of Maurice)
Theodosius (; 4 August 583 – shortly after 27 November 602) was the eldest son of Roman emperor Maurice (582–602) and was co-emperor from 590 until his deposition and execution during a military revolt.. Along with his father-in-law Germanus, he was briefly proposed as successor to Maurice by the troops, but the army eventually favoured Phocas instead. Sent in an abortive mission to secure aid from Sassanid Persia by his father, Theodosius was said to have been captured and executed by Phocas's supporters a few days after Maurice. Nevertheless, rumours spread that he had survived the execution, and became popular to the extent that a man who purported to be Theodosius was entertained by the Persians as a pretext for launching a war against Byzantium. There is debate over whether this man was an imposter or genuinely Theodosius. Biography Theodosius was the first child of Maurice and his wife, the '' augusta'' Constantina. He was born on 4 August 583 (according to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Theodosius Of Bithynia
Theodosius of Bithynia ( ; 2nd–1st century BC) was a Hellenistic astronomer and mathematician from Bithynia who wrote the '' Spherics'', a treatise about spherical geometry, as well as several other books on mathematics and astronomy, of which two survive, ''On Habitations'' and ''On Days and Nights''. Life Little is known about Theodosius' life. The ''Suda'' (10th-century Byzantine encyclopedia) mentioned him writing a commentary on Archimedes' ''Method'' (late 3rd century BC), and Strabo's ''Geographica'' mentioned mathematicians Hipparchus ( – ) and "Theodosius and his sons" as among the residents of Bithynia distinguished for their learning.

Thus Theodosius lived sometime after Archimedes and before Vitruvius, likely contemporaneously with or after Hipparchus, probably sometime between 200 and 50 BC. Historically he was called Theodosius of Tripolis due to a confusing paragraph in the ''Suda'' which prob ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antonina (wife Of Belisarius)
Antonina (, – after 565) was a Byzantine patrician and wife of the general Belisarius. The historian Procopius, who was Belisarius' legal advisor, alleges that her influence over her husband was great and features her as dominating him.Martindale, Jones & Morris (1992), p. 91–93 The historian Paolo Cesaretti mentions her as a controversial figure and the "right arm" of the empress Theodora in the exercise of influence and power. The chief source regarding Antonina is Procopius' '' Secret History'', whose reliability is debated by scholars, and Procopius' ''Wars''. Much of the information that we have regarding Antonina is uncertain and subject to speculation. However, multiple contemporary sources such as John Malalas and Liber Pontificalis corroborate Procopius' account that she orchestrated the downfalls of John the Cappadocian, the praetorian prefect, and Silverius, the Bishop of Rome. Family Procopius records that both the father and the grandfather of Antonina ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Patriarch Theodosius I Of Alexandria
Pope Theodosius I of Alexandria (died June 5, 566) was the last Patriarch of Alexandria recognised by both the Coptic Orthodox Christians and the Chalcedonian Melchites. As successor to Timothy III (IV), at the request of the Arab king Al-Harith ibn Jabalah al-Ghassani and Empress Theodora's efforts, Jacob Baradaeus ordained a universal bishop in 543/4 AD by Mor Theodosius. He was at first recognized by the Emperor Justinian I and the Eastern Orthodox Church. However, because of his Miaphysite theology, he was rejected by the Eastern Orthodox Church of Alexandria and exiled by the Emperor Justinian I in 536. In his place, Paul was elected Patriarch. As the Copts continued to recognise Theodosius, the lineage between the Coptic and Melchite split. This split endures until today. Theodosius spent the last 28 years of his life imprisoned in Upper Egypt and after his death the Coptic Church elected Peter IV as his successor. Theodosius is commemorated in the Coptic ''Syn ...

Theodosius, Metropolitan Of Moscow
Theodosius Byvaltsev (; died 1475) was Metropolitan of Moscow and all Rus', the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, from 1461 to 1464.
