 * "Reverse of a solidus of Constantine IV, displaying Heraclius and his brother Tiberius." Do we know which is Heraclius?

Prose. I have made a few minor changes. Let me know if you find any of them problematic. ✅ References.
 * "After the death of Constans II, Constantine IV ascended the throne as senior emperor" I think that at this point in the lead you need to explain who Constantine IV is in relation to Heraclius. (And possibly in relation to Constans.)
 * "in 659, prior to his departure for Italy, Constans II also elevated Heraclius to the rank of co-emperor" Possibly "shortly before" or "immediately before"?
 * "He attempted to demote his brothers from" IMO it would be worth stressing just before here that Heraclius had ruled as co-emperor to his brother for 13 years. As it reads it gives the impression that Constans made this move immediately after burying their father.
 * "Confronted by this situation, Constantine kept a close eye on his brothers, and sent across a trusted officer, Theodore, the captain of Koloneia, giving him the delicate task of praising the soldiers for their devotion and agreeing with their reasoning, with the objective of persuading them to return to their barracks in Anatolia." This is too long and needs splitting. Perhaps after "Koloneia"?
 * "the army departed back into the interior of Anatolia" Earlier in the sentence Anatolia is used to refer just to the theme. The change of context is potentially confusing. Consider "the army departed back to Anatolia".
 * When people are executed by hanging then, strictly, they are "hanged", not "hung".

 * The Dumbarton Oaks OCLC is for the 1992 edition, not the 1968 edition in the bibliography. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:27, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
