He was originally from the Illyrian prefecture and many Constantinopolitan aristocrats considered him as an illiterate parvenu. At the start of his reign, he changed the imperial religious policy, restored relations with Rome, declared the council of Chalcedon orthodox, and expelled miaphysite bishops such as Severus of Antioch. 518-527 8/10/0527 0527-08-01 male Emperor of Rome Chronica Minora 9 Cowper, Selections from the Syriac.
