SUMMARY
A rebellion of the komes of Opsikion Artavasdos/Artabazos against Emperor Constantine V Kopronymos, which was met with a short-lived success. It broke out at Dorylaeum in the summer of 741 and in June 27 of the same year Artabasdos was proclaimed emperor of the Romans. Constantine V’s entry into Constantinople in November 2, 743 marked the definitive suppression of the civil conflict between the various imperial forces that supported the two opponents. |
