Heraclius
Obverse: DN hERACLIUS (or hRACLIUS) PP AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right
Reverse: VICTORIA AVGU, cross potent on globe Struck between 610-613AD
Constantinople mint, struck 610-613AD
Heraclius came to power in 610 following a successful revolt in North Africa against the tyrannical rule of the Emperor Focas. His son Heraclius Constantine was elevated to joint rule in 613 A.D. Heraclius' most spectacular military achievement was the total defeat of Rome's old enemy on the eastern frontier, the Sassanid Persians. Unfortunately, this only facilitated the Arab conquest of Persia and the eastern provinces of the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantines lost Syria and Palestine before Heraclius died in early 641 A.D. and Egypt fell to the Arabs soon after.
