Constantine IV and Justinian II

The year was 669 AD and Constantine IV was in power since the sudden death of his father in Sicily a year before. After having quelled the usurpation of Mezezius, the troops located there returned to Anatolia. The Arabs took advantage of this fact to pillage the Island again.
