Who succeeded Tiberius II Constantine as emperor?

  • Heraclius

  • Phocas

  • Maurice

  • Justinian II

Answer

Maurice, a distinguished general who had victoriously campaigned against the Persians and secured the eastern frontier, succeeded Tiberius II Constantine as emperor in 582. His reign would be marked by military successes against the Avars and Slavs, but he faced significant internal challenges, including financial difficulties and widespread discontent among the population, leading to his eventual overthrow and execution in 602, marking the end of the Justinian dynasty.
