<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3353205, member: 97383&quot;]John, A number of scholars have come to the defense of Phocas, trying to sanitize his image, but the vast majority of historians view him in negative light. The 11th century chronicler George Cedrenus, gives an amusing description of Emperor Phocas&#039; physical appearance &quot;Under a tangle of red hair his thick, beetling eyebrows met across his nose; the rest of his face was deformed by a huge, angry scar that turned crimson when he was aroused, giving it a still more hideous aspect than that which it normally bore.&quot; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]887718[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
