Procopius, 28 September 365 - 27 May 366 A.D.
|Procopius|, |Procopius,| |28| |September| |365| |-| |27| |May| |366| |A.D.|, Procopius was a member of the Constantinian dynasty and general under Julian II. After Jovian's death, the new emperors, Valentinian I and Valens, sent soldiers to arrest Procopius. He surrendered, but asked to meet his family; he had his captors dine and drink, and then seized the opportunity to flee with his family, first to the Black Sea and later to the Tauric Chersonese, where they hid. However, Procopius feared a betrayal, and decide to go on the offensive. On 28 Sep 365, he bribed two legions passing by Constantinople and proclaimed himself emperor. In April 366, Valens defeated Procopius in the Battle of Thyatira, ending his revolt. Procopius fled, but was later captured and executed.
