And he's at the head of a substantial army composed of Bulgars and Slavs. It's now "Tiberius" Apsimar's turn to be deposed. He seals up Constantinople, but Justinian and a few frens creep in through an aqueduct.

Justinian re-emperors himself. He then indulges in protracted revenge. You love to see it. He captures Apsimar and fishes Leontius out of whatever monastery he's been confined to. Has them both publicly executed.

He puts out the eyes of the patriarch, who had crowned Leontius. He institutes a reign of terror. He sends a fleet to Cherson, where he had initially been exiled, to deal death and destruction to his enemies there too.

Alas, there are new military mutinies. In the end most of Justinian's supporters abandon him. He and his son are killed. The year is AD 711. This is the end of the Heraclian dynasty, and the end of our political history.
