Greetings all,

Today we commemorate Emperor Anastasius II becoming Emperor on June 4th in 713 AD:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anastasius_II_(emperor)

Anastasius II focused on stabilizing and fortifying the empire (including the walls of Constantinople) and reinforcing Orthodoxy over Monothelitism. Sadly he reigned for only two years, but his short rule was a welcome respite for Byzantium.

There should be cake!  :)
