Zeno, whose original name was Tarasicodissa, was of Isaurian origin, and thus considered a "barbarian" and not loved by the people of Constantinople. Basiliscus successfully exploited his unpopularity to get the purple for himself, only to become unpopular in his turn, mainly for his religious belief. | | Tremissis | Zeno | Isaurian | Constantinople | Cappadocia | Georgius Cedrenus | Arians | ISBN 0-472-08852-1 | Augusta | ISBN 1-4021-9224-X | Justinian I | Candidus | Evagrius Scholasticus | Procopius | Pannonian | Theodoric the Great | foederati | ISBN 0-631-20932-8 | Cucusus | Evagrius Scholasticus | Georgius Cedrenus | Procopius | ISBN 0-521-32591-9 | Bury, John Bagnall | 2006 | 08-23 | 1998 | 06-10 | 2006 | 08-23 | ISBN 0-415-15403-0 | ISBN 0-19-925244-0 | The Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire | ISBN 0-521-20159-4 | Catholic Encyclopedia | 2006 | 08-23 | ISBN 1-4010-1644-8 | Smith, William | 2006 | 08-23 | Wikimedia Commons | | Wikisource | Leonid Dynasty | Zeno | Byzantine Emperor | Zeno | Flavius Anicius Olybrius | Consul | Roman Empire | Imp.
