Hello,

Why wildwinds.com list Leo I and II (for example) on roman rulers?

The Byzantine Empire is often considered to start with Anastasius, in 491 AD.  This basically makes Zeno the last of the Emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire.  And since Leo I / II were in the 470s...they would also fall under the ERO.

From a numismatics perspective Anastasius is identified as the change to Byzantine because he introduced the clearly different Byzantine coinage with the large bronze follis of 40 nummi.

Many peoples describe Basiliscus (for example) as Byzantine emperor.

But yes, i agree your explanation is totaly logic.
More clear now. Thanks  :)
