 | Italy Rome Forum column dedicated to the emperor Phocas AD608 2 CS.jpg (Earth Views) Bill Thayer says: ``The so-called Column of Phocas. So-called because the column is not Phocas's at all; merely the dedication to him on the base of it! Phocas was a petty tyrant who usurped the Byzantine throne in the early 7c, and didn't last long: everyone hated him. He was the last Roman emperor to visit Rome, and his prefect there had the bright idea of honoring the visit by stealing an existing column and setting it up in the Forum with an inscription.'' |
