	Zeno of the Byzantine Empire
		Zeno was compelled to shut himself up in a fortress and spent the next 20 months raising an army, largely made up of fellow Isaurians, and marched on Constantinople in August 476.
		Zeno is described as a lax and indolent ruler, but he seems to have husbanded the resources of the empire so as to leave it appreciably stronger at his death.
		In ecclesiastical history Zeno is associated with the Henoticon[?] or instrument of union[?], promulgated by him and signed by all the Eastern bishops, with the design of terminating the Monophysite controversy.

	Zeno - LoveToKnow 1911
		ZENO, East Roman emperor from 474 to 491, was an Isaurian of noble birth, and originally bore the name of Trascalissaeus, which he exchanged for that of Zeno on his marriage with Ariadne, daughter of Leo I., in 468.
		In the following year, in consequence of a revolt fomented by Verina in favour of her brother Basiliscus, and the antipathy to his Isaurian soldiers and administrators, he was compelled to take refuge in Isauria, where, after sustaining a defeat, he was compelled to shut himself up in a fortress.
		In ecclesiastical history the name of Zeno is associated with the Henoticon or instrument of union, promulgated by him and signed by all the Eastern bishops, with the design of terminating the Monophysite controversy.

		Zeno of Citium (not to be confused with Zeno of Elias) was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which (along with its rival, Epicureanism) came to dominate the thinking of the Hellenistic world, and later, the Roman Empire, with some elements of Stoic thought even influencing early Christianity.
		Zeno was born in 333 B.C. in the town of Citium, a Greek colony which also had a large Phoenician population; Zeno himself may well have had Phoenician ancestry.
		Zeno was overly conscious of social propriety (a habit which he always found hard to shake, despite his anarchistic views), and Crates attempted to cure this by making him carry a pot of lentils through the streets of Athens.

	Zeno (emperor)
		Restored to rule of the entire empire, Zeno was within two months forced to make a momentous decision when Odoacer deposed the last emperor in the west and asked for Zeno's recognition as a patrician officer of Zeno's court, intending to rule without an emperor.
		Though Zeno at times contrived to play them off against each other, they in turn were able to profit by his dynastic rivalries, and it was only by offering them pay and high command that he kept them from attacking Constantinople itself.
		Zeno survived another revolt in 478, when his mother-in-law Verina attempted to kill Illus for turning against Basiliscus, her brother.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henoticon
		On the one hand he was a friend of Peter Fullo of Antioch and sympathized with the Monophysites, on the other he was forced into the defence of the Catholic Faith by the fact that his rival Basiliscus (whom he succeeded in deposing) had made himself the protector of the heretics.
		Zeno, in spite of his personal feeling, came to the throne as the champion of the Catholic party.
		Zeno died in 491; his successor, Anastasius I (491-518), began by keeping the policy of the Henoticon, but gradually went over to complete Monophysitism.

	Henoticon, The
		They represented to Zeno that Talaia was unworthy of the patriarchate, both as having replaced the name of Dioscorus on the diptychs, and as having perjured himself by accepting the see of Alexandria, after having, as was asserted, taken an oath that he would not seek for it.
		Acacius persuaded Zeno to present himself to the world in the novel character of an expounder of the faith of the Catholic church.
		Zeno and Acacius had "made a solitude and called it peace." It would be tedious to narrate in detail the subsequent issues of this unhappy attempt to force discordant elements into external union which continued under Acacius's successors and under the emperor Anastasius.

	Emperors from Constantine to Her
		Arcadius was a weak emperor, dominated by various regents during his rule, which in spite of everything was distinguished by deft diplomacy given that the Visigoths, who had devastated the whole Balkan Peninsula, occupied some of the choicest government posts and formed their own exclusive military units commanded by their own chiefs.
		During the reign of Zeno the final fall of the West took place and several different kingdoms were born: the Visigoths in Hispania and the south of France, the Franks in Gaul, and the Ostrogoths in Italy.
		The emperor refused the troops’ requests for leave to come home to Thrace for the winter (there are also historians who suggest that Maurice refused to ransom Byzantine prisoners of war who were captured by the Avars, and the unlucky captives were beheaded).

		He persuaded Zeno that Talaia had broken his oath in accepting election and had advised his clergy to restore the name of the great Monophysite champion, Dioscorus, to their diptychs.

		Most of these were tools of barbarian generals, and finally in the time of Pope Simplicius in 476 the Heruli chieftain Odovakar deposed the last of these little monarchs and informed Emperor Zeno at Constantinople that he would rule the West for him.
		The usurper Basiliscus issued an imperial decree known as the "Encyclion" which ordered the dogmatic letter of St. Leo to Flavian and the acts of the Council of Chalcedon to be burned.
		Zeno, alarmed at the strength of the Monophysites, was thinking of a way to pacify them, and Acacius was hand in glove with the Emperor.

		The Isaurian Zeno was restored in Constantinople as Emperor of the Roman empire in 476; but Praetorian Prefect Erythrius had resigned, because he refused to oppress people to gain the needed revenue.

		Zeno's army then defeated the rebellion the same year; but the siege of the fortress of Cherris lasted four years until it was treacherously taken.

		Zeno enacts a law in abrogation of what Basiliscus the tyrant had constituted by his circulars, and Peter, surnamed the Fuller, is ejected from the church of the Antiochenes, and Paul from that of the Ephesians.
		THE same writer states that Zeno also devised innumerable machinations against his mother-in-law Verina, and afterwards sent her away to Cilicia; and that subsequently, on the assumption of sovereign power by Illus, she removed to what is called the castle of Papirius; where she died.
