Zeno

Lived from 425 CE to 9 April 491 CE

Flavius Zeno was the Eastern Roman emperor from 474 to 475 and from 476 to 491. Domestic revolts and religious dissension plagued his reign, which nevertheless succeeded to some extent in foreign issues. His reign saw the end of the Western Roman Empire following the deposition of Romulus Augustus and the death of Julius Nepos, but he contributed much to establishing the Eastern Empire. In ecclesiastical history, Zeno is associated with the Henotikon or "instrument of union", promulgated by him and signed by all the Eastern Christian bishops, with the design of solving the monophysite controversy.
