SON OF EMPEROR CONSTANTINE III AND NEPHEW OF EMPEROR HERAKLONAS, HE WAS MADE CO-EMPEROR IN 641. AFTER THE FALL AND MUTILATION OF HIS UNCLE WHICH HAD BEEN ENGINEERED BY THE POWERFUL GENERAL VALENTINUS (WHO WAS LATER LYNCHED BY A MOB FOR TRYING TO USURP THE THRONE), CONSTANS II WAS SOLE RULER. DURING THE RULE OF CONSTANS II, MUSLIM ATTACKS ON EGYPT FORCED A BYZANTINE COMPLETE WITHDRAWL. FURTHER ENCROACHMENT INTO THE BYZANTINE PROVINCES FORCED ACTION, ONLY TO LEAD TO THE BYZANTINE FLEET BEING DESTROYED IN THE BATTLE OF THE MASTS IN 655. CONSTANS LED AND WAS ALMOST KILLED IN THE ENGAGEMENT AND LOST 500 SHIPS. HE HAD MORE LUCK AGAINST THE SLAVS IN THE BALKANS, AND CONCLUDED A PEACE WITH THE ARABS (WHO WERE IN THE MIDST OF A CIVIL WAR) IN 659. IN THAT TIME, THE CHURCH HAD BECOME DIVIDED OVER THE OPINION OF THE NATURE OF CHRIST. CONSTANS TRIED HIS BEST TO DETER DISSENTION AND FRAGMENTATION.

CONSTANS II HAD HIS BROTHER MURDERED, WAS UNPOPULAR IN THE CAPITAL, CONSTANTINOPLE, AND MOVED HIS RESIDENCE TO SICILY, WHERE HE EVENTUALLY WAS ASSASINATED IN HIS BATH BY HIS OWN CHAMBERLAIN IN 661. HIS SON, CONSTANTINE IV, PICTURED WITH HIM ON THIS GOLD SOLIDUS, WAS MADE CO-EMPEROR IN 654. HIS REIGN SAW A TEMPORARY RESPITE TO FIFTY YEARS OF UNYIELDING ARAB INVASION AND LOSS OF TERRITORY. HE CALLED THE 6TH ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, PUTTING TO REST THE CONTROVERSY WHICH HAD DIVIDED THE CHURCH, AND HIS ARMY WAS DEFEATED BY THE BULGARS, WHO CREATED A NEW STATE ON THE EMPIRE’S FRONTIERS WHICH BYZANTIUM HAD TO PAID TRIBUTE TO. HE HAD HIS TWO BROTHERS AND CO-RULERS MUTILATED SO THEY WOULD BE UNFIT TO RULE, SECURED THE SUCCESSION OF HIS SON JUSTINIAN II, AND DIED OF DYSENTERY IN 685 AD.
