| | Rome and Romania, Roman Emperors, Byzantine Emperors, etc. |
 | | After Roman Britain disappeared from history, when the usurper Constantine "III" took his troops to Gaul, Bede's History of the English Church and People is just about the first that we then hear of it, three hundred years later. |
 | | Part of that involved reforming the coinage, which is one of the benchmarks for the beginning of "Byzantine" history. |
 | | Also noteworthy as a benchmark for the beginning of Byzantine history in the time of the Leonines is the apparent disappearance of the traditional Roman tria nomina, the three names of praenômen, nômen, and cognômen, which have been given with previous Emperors. |
