Salve!

Does anyone remember the name of the Isaurian advisor of the emperor Leo I (5th c.) without checking it from somewhere. If you do (and be honest :wink: !) I´ll give you one point and my deepest admiration for this herculean effort!

I think we should all learn it! By the way, he was called later "Zeno"...

Wasn't he called Tarasicodissa?

I'm just reading Cameron's Mediterraenean world in late antiquity for an exam next wednesday.

Ok, guys/gals, I give up!

Here is the real name:

-TARASICODISSA RUSUMBLADEOTUS

I hope I remember it right! When I first saw that name I decided to learn it right there, it was so impressive. I think it would be a perfect name for a dog!!

Now I probably remember it for rest of my life... I even managed to mention mr. Tarasicodissa in my essay today.

I wonder what other isaurian names were like.

I had to check it, I admit.
Tarasicodissa was a king of the Isaurians and came as a general to Constantinople as part of Leo's measures against the Goths. Zeno soon became comes domesticorum and gave his daughter Ariadne in marriage to the emperor.

Rhusumblada was the town where he hailed from, so stricktly speaking it was not his name.

Wouldn`t it be a proud sight to have a police officer ordering you to pick up TARASICODISSA RUSUMBLADEOTUS`S leavings from the street :wink: ...

:lol:

I knew someone who had a teddy bear called Tiglath Pileser III (after the Assyrian ruler).
