  • After defeating the treacherous idolaters, a round of eye gougings was naturally in order, sprinkled with some executions, as the was civilized custom of the era. Artabasdus and his sons, along with many of their supporters, where blinded and sent to the monastery. Anastasius, the treacherous Patriarch, was blinded so that he could not longer look upon his idols. He was then whipped, and paraded through the streets. In my Constantine's, most gracious mercy, Anastasius was retained as Patriarch, primarily to serve as an example to others.

abstract
  • Constantine V Kopronymos or Copronymus (718 – 14 September 775) was Byzantine emperor from 741 to 775. Throughout his reign, he was a fervent iconoclast, more so than his father, Leo III the Isaurian.
  • After defeating the treacherous idolaters, a round of eye gougings was naturally in order, sprinkled with some executions, as the was civilized custom of the era. Artabasdus and his sons, along with many of their supporters, where blinded and sent to the monastery. Anastasius, the treacherous Patriarch, was blinded so that he could not longer look upon his idols. He was then whipped, and paraded through the streets. In my Constantine's, most gracious mercy, Anastasius was retained as Patriarch, primarily to serve as an example to others. In retrospect, this rebellion actually helped me the emperor: many of his rebellious and idolatrous subjects were disposed of, and the emperor's heart was set more firmly than ever against the idolaters.
