 Greetings all,


Today we celebrate Heraclius the Younger being crowned as Emperor on October 5th in 610 AD: 


He and his father had been in revolt against the Emperor Phocas. Heraclius was crowned Emperor as he approached Constantinople, and after entering the city the Excutibors (Imperial Guard) deserted Phocas and joined him.

There should be cake!
