Arab armies have meanwhile invaded Asia Minor.
Leo the Isaurian deceives them into believing that he will subjugate the empire for them, and thus wins their goodwill and support for his own attempt to seize the throne.
After persuading them to spare Roman territory, he rebels against Theodosius' rule in collusion with Artabasdos, the strategos of the Armeniac Theme, and marches on Constantinople.
