Years: 514 - 514
Vitalian marches again towards Constantinople in 514, this time gathering, in addition to his army, a fleet of two hundred vessels from the Black Sea ports, which sails down the Bosporus menacing the city from the sea as well.
Anastasius is further disquieted by riots in the city, which leave many casualties, and resolves to treat again with Vitalian.
Vitalian accepts, on the conditions of his nomination to the post of magister militum per Thracias and the receipt of ransom money and gifts worth in total five thousand pounds of gold for the release of Hypatius.
Anastasius also concedes the removal of the changes from the Trisagion, the restoration of the deposed Chalcedonian bishops, and the convocation of a general church council at Constantinople on July 1, 515.
