Heraclius
October 5, 610 to January 11, 641 AD

Heraclius, was a Byzantine Emperor, who ruled the Roman Empire for over thirty years. His rise to power began in 608, when he and his father, the viceroyal Exarch of Africa, successfully led a revolt against the unpopular usurper Phocas. Heraclius' reign was marked by several military campaigns, and he was remembered in future generations both for his battles against the Sassanian Persian king Khosrau Parvez, and as the first of the Byzantine emperors to engage the Muslims. He is also remembered for abandoning the use of Latin in official documents; further Hellenizing the Empire, and he is traditionally credited with establishing the themata.
