Once again, Gaiseric was his major supporter, but once again his hopes were shattered, as the Eastern Emperor Leo I the Thracian chose the noble Procopius Anthemius.

Procopius Anthemius ( c. 420 – 11 July 472 ) was Western Roman Emperor from 467 to 472.

His first wife was probably Artemisia, having married secondly the dowager Empress Faustina, while the Roman general of the 5th century Procopius and his son, the Emperor Anthemius, were among his descendants, the first being the son of his son Procopius.

Flavius Procopius Anthemius ( floruit 469-515 ) was a politician of the Eastern Roman Empire, son of Western Roman Emperor Anthemius.

Procopius was the son of Anthemius and of Marcia Euphemia, daughter of the Easter Roman Empire.

Procopius might be the Anthemius, husband of Herais and father of a Zeno betrothed to a nephew of Emperor Zeno ; this Anthemius was probably a patricius.

However Cassiodorus, Marcellinus Comes and Procopius report that Anthemius was killed by Ricimer himself.

In his History of the Wars, Procopius mentions a story ( which Gibbon disbelieved ) where, on hearing the news that Rome had " perished ", Honorius was initially shocked ; thinking the news was in reference to a favorite chicken he had named " Roma ".

Justinian was a prolific builder ; the historian Procopius bears witness to his activities in this area.

Procopius of Caesarea ( Latin: Procopius Caesarensis, ; c. AD 500 – c. AD 565 ) was a prominent Byzantine scholar from Palaestina Prima.

Though his early reception in the city seems to have been lukewarm, Procopius won favor quickly by using propaganda to his advantage: he sealed off the city to outside reports and began spreading rumors that Valentinian had died ; he began minting coinage flaunting his connections to the Constantinian dynasty ; and he further exploited dynastic claims by using the widow and daughter of Constantius II to act as showpieces for his regime.

* April – May – Emperor Valens defeats the troops of Procopius in the Battle of Thyatira, bringing an end to his revolt ; Serenianus and Marcellus are killed.

The difficulty has been raised, especially by geologists, that the promontory ceased to be an island well before Homer's time ; but Procopius remarked that the promontory has all the appearance of an island until one is actually upon it.

The story told in the opera is quite different from the real one, despite the fact that Zeno claimed to use several historical sources ( Evagrius Scholasticus l. 2. c. 7, Procopius of Caesarea, Historia Vandalorum, l. 1, Paul the Deacon, vi ): Ricimer captures Rome, frees his sister Teodolinda and enslaves Placidia, daughter of Valentinian III ; a little later, Olybrius frees Rome and Placidia, and marries her.

All writers concur in representing it as a very ancient city ; Solinus and Stephanus of Byzantium ascribe its foundation to Diomedes ; a legend which appears to have been adopted by the inhabitants, who, in the time of Procopius, pretended to exhibit the tusks of the Calydonian Boar in proof of their descent.

The date of his birth is unclear ; John Malalas claims that at his death he was 82 years old, hence born in 449, but Procopius mentions that he had barely entered puberty when his father Peroz was killed with his entire army during a campaign against the Hephthalites in 484 at the Battle of Herat.

After this disaster, only few members of the royal line remained ; according to Procopius, of the ca.

This may be because both languages were East Germanic and closely related ; scholars have pointed out in this context that Procopius refers to the Goths, Vandals, Visigoths, and Gepaedes as " Gothic nations " and opines that they " are all of the Arian faith, and have one language called Gothic ".

He edited Procopius for Niebuhr's Corpus of the Byzantine writers, and between 1846 and 1851 brought out at Oxford an important edition of Demosthenes ; he also edited Lucian and Josephus for the Didot classics, while his work on Homeric scholarship is represented by his four-volume edition of the Homeric scholia.

In later years, the Via Egnatia was revived as a key road of the Byzantine Empire ; Procopius records repairs made by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I during the 6th century, though even then the dilapidated road was said to be virtually unusable during wet weather.

The name " Kastoria " first appears in the middle of the 6th century ( 550 AD ), mentioned by Procopius as follows :" There was a certain city in Thessaly, Diocletianopolis by name, which had been prosperous in ancient times, but with the passage of time and the assaults of the barbarians it had been destroyed, and for a very long time it had been destitute of inhabitants ; and a certain lake chances to be close by which was named Castoria. There is an island in the middle of the lake, for the most part surrounded by water ; but there remains a single narrow approach to this island through the lake, not more than fifteen feet wide. And a very lofty mountain stands above the island, one half being covered by the lake while the remainder rests upon it.

His name is the most common in all historic records of Slavic religion ; in fact, he is the first Slavic god mentioned in written history ( Procopius in his short note mentions that the god of thunder and lightning is the only god of Slavs, lord of all ).

Constantius II built there a magnificent bridge over the Pyramus ( Malalas, Chronographia, XIII ; P. G., XCVII, 488 ) afterwards restored by Justinian ( Procopius, De Edificiis, V. 5 ) and has been restored again recently.

Thus we can trace the development of the legend from a letter, but no image in Eusebius, to an image painted by a court painter in Addai ; then to a miracle caused by the letter in Procopius, which becomes a miracle caused by a miraculously-created image supernaturally made when Jesus pressed a cloth to his wet face in Evagrius.

Justinian rebuilt his birthplace in Illyricum, as Justiniana Prima, more in a gesture of imperium than out of an urbanistic necessity ; another " city ", was reputed to have been founded, according to Procopius ' panegyric on Justinian's buildings, precisely at the spot where the general Belisarius touched shore in North Africa: the miraculous spring that gushed forth to give them water and the rural population that straightway abandoned their ploughshares for civilised life within the new walls, lend a certain taste of unreality to the project.

His next oration is addressed to Valens, congratulating him on his victory over Procopius in June 366, and interceding for some of the rebels ; it was delivered in 367.

He is succeeded by his 7-year-old son, Theodosius II, who rules under the domination of his devout Christian sister Pulcheria and Anthemius, who acts as regent.

Leontia then married Marcian, a son of Emperor Anthemius and Marcia Euphemia.

The following year the two consuls were Anthemius ' son, Marcian, and Leo's son-in-law, Flavius Zeno ( later successor of Leo on the Eastern throne ).

In 471, the year in which Leo held his fourth consulate with the Praetorian prefect of Italy Caelius Aconius Probianus as colleague, the two emperors strengthened their bonds with a marriage between Anthemius ' son, Marcian, and Leo's daughter, Leontia ; Marcian was honoured with his second consulate the following year, this time chosen by the Eastern court.

Leontia then married Marcian, a son of Anthemius and Marcia Euphemia.

In 478-479, the revolt of Marcian, a son of Anthemius took place.

Anthemius sent his son over the Alps, with an army, to request the Visigoths to return Narbo to Roman control.

Leo I wife Verina bore him at least two daughters, one of whom married the son of Anthemius, whom Leo I installed as Emperor in the West in 467 ( and whose daughter married the formidable " Shadow Emperor " Ricimer ), and the other of whom was Ariadne, who married the Isaurian leader Tarasikodissa ; Tarasikodissa was appointed master of the soldiers and adopted the name Zeno.
