DynastyTwenty Years' Anarchy

Anastasius II (Greek: Ἀναστάσιος, romanized: Anastásios; died 719), born Artemius (Greek: Ἀρτέμιος, romanized: Artémios), was the Byzantine emperor from 713 to 715. His reign was marked by significant religious and political decisions aimed at stabilizing the Empire. One of his notable actions was reversing the previous appointment of a Monothelete patriarch of Constantinople, instead reinstating Orthodoxy by appointing Germanus I to the position. This move was made in an effort to gain the favor of Pope Constantine.
