Greetings all,

 

Today we reflect on the life of the Emperor Constantine II who was assassinated on September 15th, in 668 AD:

Sadly his reign was one of difficulty as the province of Egypt lost under his rule. Constans II was the last Emperor to actively serve in the office of Consul, and during his reign there was contact with the Tang Dynasty of China. He also visited Rome, and was the first Emperor to do so since the Western Empire had fallen.
