Greetings all,
On this Day we reflect on young Leo II being appointed as co-Emperor alongside his father Zeno on January 29th in 474 AD:
Leo II was 7 years old at the time, and had already been co-Emperor
with is grandfather Leo I, and had "ruled" as sole Emperor from January
18th 474, a total of 11 days. Sadly he died of illness later in the year.
