Byzantine Empire, Anastasius, 11 April 491 - 1 July 518 A.D.
|Anastasius| |I|, |Byzantine| |Empire,| |Anastasius,| |11| |April| |491| |-| |1| |July| |518| |A.D.|, "Anastasius' reign was also troubled by domestic squabbling between the two "demes" (originally adherents of athletic teams represented by colors), the Greens and the Blues. This frequently resulted in fatal rioting, and Anastasius' own illegitimate son was killed in such riots in 501. Anastasius became associated with the Greens as the "demes" began to take on the character of political parties, with the Blues representing the large land-owners and the Greens representing trade and industry." - Moneta Historical Reference
