Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also who is your favourite byzantine emperor?

[@ChandlerTV100]

Judging from that letter I think John III might join my list of favorites lol

[@majorianus8055]

I believe his favourites are Manuel I, Basil II, Constantine V and John III Vataztes

[@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast]

Wow interesting. Definitely not Manuel or John. I like C5 but not my favourite. Hmm. I don't know. I'm interested in Anastasius, Maurice, Constans II, Theophilus, Basil II and Alexios Komnenos
