romance Leontius: The First of Seven Revolutions

A competant Isaurian soldier and general he proved to be a decent emperor. He ruled for a period of 3 years from 695-698 and did little in resonpsonse to the Arab raids that followed the Battle of Sebastopolis in 692 but as proved with the loss of Africa, he was quick to respond to major crisis and prove initaially successful. Whether future attempts to recover Africa would have been successful cannot be known for the Drungarios Apsimar rebelled and deposed Leontius, shaking imperial stability.
