Maurice, Roman emperor - ܡܠܟܐ

http://syriaca.org/person/1910
“Maurice was commander of the imperial bodyguard in the late 570s and led the Roman troops in the east in the war against the Sasanian Empire. The emperor Tiberius elevated him to the rank of Caesar shortly before his death, thereby designating him as his successor. During his reign, Maurice brought the war with the Sasanians to a successful completion in 591 and restored Roman rule in the Balkan provinces. He was a committed Chalcedonian, yet John of Ephesus is quite positive towards him since he did not embark on a policy of persecution towards the miaphysites. Maurice was overthrown and murdered after an army mutiny in November 602.” 5
