Topic: Emperor Anastasius


  
  Anastasius I (emperor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was born at Dyrrhachium not later than A.D. At the time of the death of Zeno (491), Anastasius, a palace official (silentiarius), held a very high character, and was raised to the throne of the Roman empire of the East, through the choice of Ariadne, Zeno's widow, who married him shortly after his accession.
The emperor was a convinced Monophysite, but his ecclesiastical policy was moderate; he endeavoured to maintain the principle of the Henotikon of Zeno and the peace of the church.
It was the uncompromising attitude of the orthodox extremists, and the rebellious demonstrations of the Byzantine populace, that drove him in 512 to abandon this policy and adopt a monophysitic programme.

Justin I became emperor in 518, the 'Acacian Schism' still existed and Vitalian, who had raised rebellion twice against the Monophysite emperor Anastasius, driven by a combination of orthodox zeal and ambition, was still lurking in his native province of Scythia Minor with the remains of his military force.

Died 518; one of the two Catholic bishops (with Flavian of Antioch) who resisted the attempt of the Emperor Anastasius I (491-518) to abolish the Council of Chalcedon (451).
Anastasius spent the greater part of his reign in a vain attempt to impose Monophysitism on his subjects.
The Acacian schism (484-519) still continued during the reign of Anastasius, but the emperor and his patriarch made advances to the Roman See–advances that came to nothing, since the pope always insisted on the removal of the names of former schismatics from the Byzantine diptychs.

 The Emperor Anastasius and the city of Philadelphia | Samizdata.net
Anastasius abolished the "chrysargyon" (a major tax on the urban population) and reduced the "capitatio" - one of the great taxes on the peasantry.
Anastasius was working to a plan to abolish the capitatio (although the land tax would remain - and it had to be paid in gold), but sadly the Emperor elected by the Senate after him (Justin) and the real man of power (Justinian) had other plans.
Anastasius also reformed the coinage (the actual minister in charge was named John the Paphlagonian - why should such folk be forgotten), so the East remained a money economy (not collapsing into barter) with coins in the denominations useful to the citizens, and Byzantine coins remained a normally undebased system of exchange for many centuries.
