Phocas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1042 words)
Phocas is the dedicatee of the last monument erected in the Roman forum.
Phocas gave the Pantheon to Pope Boniface IV for use as a church; in thanks, Boniface erected in the forum the so-called Column of Phocas, which featured an inscription on its base in the emperor's honour.
He also took advantage of the chaos that Phocas' usurpation had sowed in the Roman military: he came to the aid of Narses, a Roman general who refused to acknowedge the new emperor's authority and who was besieged by troops loyal to Phocas in Edessa.
Roman Emperors - DIR Phocas (5264 words)
Phocas was, and to a certain extent remains, one of the most maligned of all Byzantine emperors.
Thus, the empire that Phocas seized from Maurice was one whose authority in the provinces was represented by an unpopular minority and enforced by military power.
Phocas immediately sought to silence those who might voice concerns over his lack of dynastic ties by requiring the previous emperor's father-in-law to renounce his own claim to the throne.
