719 CE

Anastasios heads a revolt in 719 against Leo the Isaurian, who had succeeded Theodosius as Leo III, receiving considerable support, including auxiliaries reportedly provided by Tervel of Bulgaria.

However the chronicler Theophanes the Confessor, who offers this information elsewhere, confuses Tervel with his eventual successor Kormesiy, so perhaps Anastasios was allied with the younger ruler.

In any case, the rebel forces advance on Constantinople.

The enterprise fails, and Anastasios falls into Leo's hands and is put to death by his orders.
