  Leo III (disambiguation) Summary
Leo was born in Germanicea in northern Syria, but his family was resettled in Thrace by one of the population movements of the last Heraclian emperor, Justinian II, during his initial regime (685-695).
Leo's work is therefore a bridge between the legal landmarks of Justinian's age and the mature Byzantine codifications of the late 9th century.
Leo's most controversial legacy was the initiation of a campaign against the use of images (icons) in the Church.
