<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2205274, member: 42773&quot;]Constans was his nickname, which goes back to several Byzantine texts. You get three choices when it comes to Constans II&#039;s official names: <i>Heraclius Constantinus </i>(he was baptized Heraclius), <i>Flavius Constantinus Augustus </i>(not sure where the Flavius comes from), and he was also known as Constantine the Bearded <i>(Kōnstantinos Pogonatos)</i>. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you think Roman emperor&#039;s names are long and complicated, I was reading up on Sultans of the Seljuq Empire, and they put the Romans to shame. Try this one on for size: <b>Jalāl al-Dawla Mu&#039;izz al-Dunyā Wa&#039;l-Din Abu&#039;l-Fatḥ ibn Alp Arslān.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
