<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 3021256, member: 77704&quot;]In 602AD Maurice Tiberius was driven out of power in a uprising led by Phocas. Maurice was arrested and forced to watch his sons beheading. Then it was his turn to face the executioners axe. In the purges that followed his wife, followers met the same end. The eldest son Theodosius escaped the bloodbath and ended up in Carthage. There he was proclaimed Augustus and became Theodosius III/ for a very short period. There&nbsp; are a tiny number of nummi/ silique/ solidi known. Carthage was under Heraclius who later seized power from Phocas, and he ended up facing the headsman.</p><p>Second in line would be Mezezius, who in 668AD seized power. It is thought he had Constans III whacked (with a bucket in the bathtub)</p><p>His reign was shortlived, when Constantine was informed about his Dads dimise, he set sail for Constantinople. By the time he arrived, he was presented Mezezius head on a platter....</p><p>6 AV Solidi are known.</p><p>These facrs are all from ERICII, the most upto date book on the subject.</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
