PHILIPPICUS

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PHILIPPICUS ,
East
  Roman emperor, 711-713, was the son of the patrician Nicephorus, and became distinguished as a soldier under Justinian II. His proper name, which indicates his Armenian origin, was Bardanes. Relying on the support of the Monothelite party, he made some pretensions to the
throne
  on the outbreak of the first
great
  rebellion against Justinian; these led to his relegation to Cephalonia by Tiberius Absimarus, and subsequently to his banishment, by order of Justinian, to Cherson. Here Bardanes, taking the name of Philippicus, successfully incited the inhabitants to revolt, and on the assassination of Justinian he at once assumed the
purple
 . Among his first acts were the deposition of Cyrus, the orthodox
patriarch
  of
Constantinople
 , in favour of John, a member of his own sect, and the summoning of a conciliabulum of Eastern bishops, which abolished the canons of the
sixth
  general
council
 . Meanwhile Terbelis, king of the Bulgarians, plundered up to the walls of
Constantinople
 , and shortly afterwards the Saracens made similar inroads from the
Asiatic
  side. The reign of Philippicus was brought to a close through a conspiracy headed by two of his generals, who caused him to be blinded.
See Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman
Empire
  (ed. Bury, London, 1896), v. 183-184.
