	Leo III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first year of Leo's reign saw an important siege of his capital in the Second Arab siege of Constantinople, where the Arabs had taken advantage of the civil discord in the Roman empire to bring a force of 80,000 men and a massive fleet to the Bosporus.
		A revolt which broke out in Greece, mainly on religious grounds, was crushed by the imperial fleet (727), and two years later, by deposing the patriarch of Constantinople, Leo suppressed the overt opposition of the capital.
		In Italy the defiant attitude of Popes Gregory II and III on behalf of image-veneration led to a fierce quarrel with the emperor.
