# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Justinian II took the Byzantine throne in 685 with his famous predecessor's name and his ambition to match: he wanted the Roman Empire restored to full glory. What he lacked was his father Constantine IV's political touch. Opposition met savage reprisal, and by 695 the capital had had enough — a popular uprising deposed him and mutilated his face, the nose-slitting that earned him his nickname. Most men would have disappeared. Justinian spent ten years in exile, returned in 705 at the head of a Bulgarian army, and reclaimed the throne. His second reign made the first look restrained. In 711, his own soldiers killed him.
