Pope Constantine
?–715 CE · Syria
A Syrian by birth, Constantine is best remembered as the last pope to visit Constantinople, traveling there in 710-711 at the summons of Emperor Justinian II. The visit, marked by elaborate ceremony in which the emperor reportedly prostrated himself before the pope, produced a measure of compromise over the disputed Quinisext canons. Constantine's reign also saw the violent fall of Justinian and shifting Byzantine emperors. At home he faced and resolved a dispute with the see of Ravenna over its claims to independence. His pontificate marks a late high point of papal-imperial diplomacy before relations sharply deteriorated under his successors.
