Summary
Updated 2026-06-09
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.
Biography
About
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."
