| Aanvullende informatie |
Phocas seized power in 602 by leading a mutiny of Danubian troops against Maurice, whose entire family he executed shortly after. The reign that followed was marked by military collapse on multiple fronts — the Persians under Khosrow II used Maurice's murder as a pretext for a devastating invasion that would ultimately consume Egypt, Syria, and Palestine before Heraclius deposed Phocas in 610.
That terminal date of 610 is not a gradual transition. Heraclius arrived from Carthage by sea, and Phocas was captured, mutilated, and burned on the same day.
