# Leo II

> A child who wore the purple for months, not years — made co-emperor at six, sole ruler at seven, dead before eight. His reign was a legal scaffold: just long enough for his father Zeno to claim the throne through him.

## Bio

Leo was born around 467, son of the Isaurian general Zeno and Ariadne, daughter of Emperor Leo I. His grandfather elevated him to co-emperor on 17 November 473, binding the dynasty. When Leo I died of dysentery on 18 January 474, the boy became sole emperor. Eleven days later the Byzantine Senate made Zeno co-emperor, and father and son ruled together until Leo II died in late 474. He is sometimes called "the Small" to distinguish him from his grandfather Leo "the Great."
