  Philippicus
Philippicus, East Roman emperor, 711-713, was the son of the patrician Nicephorus, and became distinguished as a soldier under Justinian II.
Relying on the support of the Monothelite party, he made some pretensions to the throne on the outbreak of the first great rebellion against Justinian; these led to his relegation to Cephalonia[?] by Tiberius Absimarus, and subsequently to his banishment, by order of Justinian, to Cherson.
Here Bardanes, taking the name of Philippicus, successfully incited the inhabitants to revolt, and on the assassination of Justinian he at once assumed the purple.

Subsequently, Artabanus was again expelled from his kingdom by the Parthian nobles, but was restored by the mediation of Izates, king of Adia-bene, who was allowed in consequence to wear his tiara upright, and to sleep upon a golden bed, which were privileges peculiar to the kings of Par­thia.
Bardanes made war upon Izates, to whom his family was so deeply indebted, merely because he refused to assist him in making war upon the Romans; but when the Parthians perceived the intentions of Bardanes, they put him to death, and gave the kingdom to his brother, Gotarzes.

 Coins of the Byzantine Empire
The murder of Justinian II and his child heir removed the last of the Heracliads and Bardanes was raised to the purple.
Once the Imperial robes were assumed, Bardanes swiftly shed all traces of the dynamism and charisma that had raised him to his exalted present.
As though this was not enough to alienate his subjects' affections, his rare spells of sobriety were spent in the dissemination of a deeply unpopular, and theologically heretical, form of monophysitism.

 Justinian II
Cherson revolted; under the leadership of Bardanes, the city held out against a counter-attack and soon the forces sent to suppress the rebellion joined it.
The rebels then seized the capital and proclaimed Bardanes as emperor; Justinian had been on his way to Armenia, and was unable to return to Constantinople in time to defend it.
On hearing the news of his death, Justinian's mother took his six-year-old son and co-Emperor, Tiberius, to sanctuary at St. Mary's Church in Blachernae, but was pursued by Bardanes' henchmen, who dragged the child from the altar and, once outside the church, murdered him, thus finally eradicating the line of Heraclius.

 Untitled Document
Alaska, however, is not a bad album by any stretch of the imagination, and the band does indeed show an uncanny knack for producing active symphonic rock that is rich in emotive turns, instrumental passages, and keyboard flash.
What's more, the album's two instrumentals, "Bardanes" and "Mesa Extrana," are delightfully elegant and put all of Alaska's obvious abilities on display, with the latter of the two being undeniably splendid in its use of chamber instruments and drawing the listener's attention to itself as the album's absolute highlight.
Unfortunately, however, Alaska also suffers from what is a common plague in the genre of progressive rock, that being the lack of a certain element of surprise that relegates music to a pleasant, but never really attention-grabbing, plane.

The great oecumenical councils, notably that of Chalcedon gave rise to schismatic sects which have perpetuated themselves for a long time, some of them to the present day.
For a brief period Monotheletism was restored by Bardanes or Philippicus, who wrested the throne from Justinian II.
He annulled the creed of the sixth oecumenical Council, caused the names of Sergius and Honorius to be reinserted in the diptycha among the orthodox patriarchs, and their images to be again set up in public places.

 BUCK'S THEOLOGICAL DICTIONARY
The word is Greek, formed from imago, and rumpere, "to break." In this sense not only the reformed, but some of the eastern churches, are called iconoclastes, and esteemed by them heretics, as opposing the worship of the images of God and the saints, and breaking their figures and representations in churches.
The opposition to images began in Greece, under the reign of Bardanes, who was created emperor of the Greeks a little after the commencement of the eighth century, when the worship of them became common.
But the tumults occasioned by it were quelled by a revolution, which, in 713, deprived Bardanes of the imperial throne.

"Bardanes" is a dark and moody piece, with deep bass chords and heavy, slow percussion - almost a funeral march.
This blends into "Reason to Wonder" which is equally moody, and somewhat abstract.
There is a nice acoustic guitar touch in "Anyman's Tomorrow," which may be either Lewis or guest Kent Wells (who plays in country artist Reba McEntire's band, if you can fathom that).
