Years: 657 - 657
Constans II uses the respite provided by the Muslim civil war to shore up his defenses and initiate a major army reform with lasting effect: the establishment of the themata, the large territorial commands into which Anatolia, the major contiguous territory remaining to the Empire, is divided.
The themata, or themes, will form the backbone of the imperial defensive system for centuries to come.
