Answer
Theodore II ruled the Eastern Roman Empire alone, without a co-emperor, for five decades, from 408 AD until his death in 450 AD. He consolidated his power by eliminating potential rivals and was known for his administrative and military reforms, earning him the epithet "the Young". Theodore's reign was marked by conflicts with the Sassanid Empire and struggles against barbarian incursions.
