Leo I the Thracian
401 CE–474 CE · Constantinople
Leo I, called the Thracian, was Eastern Roman (Byzantine) emperor from 457 to 474. A former military officer of Thracian origin, he was raised to the throne with the backing of the Alan general Aspar, whose influence he later broke by executing him in 471. His coronation was the first to include a Christian rite in which the Patriarch of Constantinople placed the crown on the emperor, marking a step in the Christianization of imperial ceremony. His reign is also remembered for the costly and unsuccessful naval expedition of 468 against the Vandal kingdom in North Africa.
