	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.

	Roman Emperor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Discussion of Roman Emperors involves a high degree of historian's editorial discretion, for the Romans themselves did not share the modern understanding of the monarchical concepts of "empire" and "emperor" (note that the Empire had all the political institutions and traditions of the Roman Republic, including the Senate and assemblies).
		The concept of the Roman Empire was renewed in the West with the coronation of the king of the Franks, Karl I as Roman emperor on Christmas Day, 800.
		This line of Roman emperors was actually generally German rather than Roman, but maintained their Romanness as a matter of principle; it lasted until 1806 when Franz II dissolved the Empire during the Napoleonic Wars.

	Anastasius Bibliothecarius
		After a reconciliation Anastasius became papal librarian and disputed with the Greek Orthodox theologian Photius, patriarch of Constantinople (858-867; 878-886), over the question of the Holy Spirit's relationship within the Christian Trinity, a controversy crucial to Eastern and Western doctrinal differences leading to open schism.
		Anastasius' Latin translations of the council's proceedings and compilation of other documents relating to the monothelite controversy contributed to the history of Western theology.
		Included in Anastasius' major writings are commentaries on the influential 6th-century Neoplatonic philosopher Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and probably the accounts of Popes Nicholas I and Adrian II in the Liber pontificalis (Latin: "The Book of the Popes"), an essential source for the history of primitive Christianity.

		Anastasius was the choice of Ariadne Zeno's widow, and seems to have been a surprise to the aristocracy.
		Anastasius was prepared to discuss Chalcedon with Pope Hormisdas, but Hormisdas' attitude to Acacius, the patriarch of Constantinople who had been excommunicated in Zeno's reign, and his insistence that the emperor and eastern bishops approve Chalcedon without qualification sabotaged negotiations.

	Pope Gelasius I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The split with the emperor and the patriarch of Constantinople was inevitable, from the western point of view, because they had embraced a view of a single, Divine ('Monophysite') nature of Christ, which the papal party viewed as heresy.
		Gelasius' letter to, the senator, covers the main lines of the controversy and incidentally offers some details of this festival combining fertility and purification that might have been lost otherwise.
		The fixing of the canon of scripture has traditionally been attributed to Gelasius, who published in a Roman synod (494) his celebrated catalogue of the authentic writings of the Fathers, together with a list of apocryphal and interpolated works, as well as the proscribed books of the heretics (Epistle xlii).

	Roman Emperors - DIR Anastasius
		The long reign of the emperor Antoninus Pius is often described as a period of peace and quiet before the storm which followed and plagued his successor, Marcus Aurelius.
		In addition to the relative peacefulness, this emperor set the tone for a low-keyed imperial administration which differed markedly from those of his two immediate predecessors, Trajan and Hadrian.
		The future emperor was born T. Aurelius Fulvus Boionius Arrius Antoninus on September 19, A.D. 86 at Lanuvium, an old Latin city southeast of Rome.

	Roman Decadence, Rome and Romania, and the Emperors Who Weren't
		The Romans were so busy at their orgies (often with their siblings), throwing Christians to the lions, poisoning their spouses, parents, and children, and eating exotic parts of animals (like hummingbird tongues), in between visits to the vomitorium so they could eat more, that they didn't notice all the Germans gathering on the frontiers.
		What the Romans lost then was their discipline and organization, and this occurred through the Germanization of the army, even as the German commanders of the same were no more ready to seize the ultimate Roman honor for themselves than the Romans were to bestow it on them.
		Greek and Roman society was built on the conception of the subordination of the individual to the community, of the citizen to the state; it set the safety of the commonwealth, as the surpreme aim of conduct, above the safety of the individual whether in this world or in a world to come.

	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.

	Byzantine coinage - SmartyBrain Encyclopedia and Dictionary
		The start of what is viewed as Byzantine currency by numismatics began with the monetary reform of Anastasius in 498, who reformed the late Roman Empire coinage system which consisted of the gold solidus and the bronze nummi.
		The gold solidus remained a standard of international commerce until the eleventh century, when it began to be debased under successive emperors beginning in the 1030s under the emperor Romanos Argyros (1028–1034).
		Although Justinian II (685–695 and 705–711) attempted a restoration of the follis size of Justinian, the follis continued to slowly decrease in size.

		Handel infuses the heroic dimension of many of his earlier works, Rinaldo included, with new life in Giustino, partly by breaking up the stream of arias characteristic of those earlier works with several choruses, a technique borrowed from oratorio.
		The aria "Se parla nel mio cor" comes from Act I of the opera, as Giustino (Justin, a peasant who rose through the ranks to command the armies of the Eastern Roman Emperor Anastasius and eventually succeeded him in 518 A.D.) heads off to battle against the rebel Vitalian.
		This is just the first of his many heroic deeds over the opera's course, during which Justin rescues one woman from a bear and another from a sea monster.
