Byzantine Empire /
Constantine 3
Full name:
Heraclius Constantine
(612-641) Byzantine co-emperor for only 4 months in 641, together with his brother, Heraclonas.
Throughout his short reign, he only used Heraclius Constantine. The designation "Constantine 3" was given to him by his son, Constans 2.
His reign was too short to allow him any important decisions. His only achievement was to have secured that Constans 2 became emperor later the same year as he died.
