Anastasius, 11 April 491 - 1 July 518 A.D.
|Anastasius| |I|, |Anastasius,| |11| |April| |491| |-| |1| |July| |518| |A.D.|, "Anastasius was born to humble parents about 430 at Dyrrachium (Durres, Albania) in the Macedonian province of Epirus Nova. He was a "Silentiary" under Zeno. A Silentiary was one of thirty distinguished men who personally served at the palace as ushers and watchmen over the emperor's person, and they were ranked with senators. Late in Zeno's reign a soothsayer predicted that his throne would be taken by a Silentiary, and Zeno immediately had Pelagius, the most distinguished Silentiary, strangled, probably to preserve the throne for Zeno's brother Longinus." - Moneta Historical Reference
