	Zeno of the Byzantine Empire
		Well-known as a warrior, Tarasicodissa caught the eye of the Emperor Leo I in the mid-460s, when Leo was searching for alternatives to using increasingly unreliable German and Alan mercenaries in his army.
		Although designed by Leo to secure the Isaurian support against the aforementioned ambitious minister Aspar, this political arrangement brought them a son, who was a boy to became the emperor Leo II upon the death of his grandfather in 473.
		Since Leo II was too young to rule himself, Ariadne and her mother Verina[?] prevailed upon Leo to crown Zeno as co-emperor, which he did on February 9, 474.

		The defeat of Basiliscus gave Leo an opportunity of getting rid of Aspar and his three haughty sons, Ardaburius, Patricius, and Ermenaric, for public opinion pointed out Aspar as the secret contriver of the failure of the expedition; and the people, especially the orthodox, declared themselves against him in most violent language.
		This foul deed was perpetrated at the command of Leo, on whose memory it is an indelible stain.
		Trascalisseus, the stanch adherent of Leo, was rewarded with the hand of his daughter, Ariadne, adopted the Greek name of Zeno, and thus finally filled the imperial throne.
