Oxyathres of Heracleia

Definition
Oxyathres (Ancient Greek: Οξυάθρης; died 284 BC) was a son of Dionysius, tyrant of Heraclea and of Amastris, the daughter of the brother of Darius III Codomannus, also called Oxyathres. He succeeded, together with his brother Clearchus, to the sovereignty of Heraclea on the death of Dionysius, 306 BC: but the government was administered by Amastris during the minority of her two sons. Soon after the young men had attained to manhood and taken the direction of affairs into their own hands, they caused their mother to be put to death (284 BC): but this act of matricide brought upon them the immediate vengeance of Lysimachus, who made himself master of Heraclea, and put both Clearchus and Oxyathres to death. According to Diodorus, they had reigned seventeen years; but their death should be assigned to the year 284 BC.

King of the Romans

Definition
The title of King of the Romans was one of the terms to identify the individual elected by the Princely Electors of medieval and early modern Germany as their king (in use actually until 1806). It often designated him as the future Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The actual title varied over time (King of the Franks, Roman King, King of the Romans, and finally King in Germania), and modern terms such as Roman-German King try to differentiate from potential misunderstandings regarding Roman rulers in antiquity and from the modern title of German emperor (of 1871-1918).

It was reinaugurated in 324 AD[1] at ancient Byzantium, as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Emperor Constantine the Great, after whom it was named, and dedicated on 11 May 330.[1] In the 12th century,[2] the city was the largest and wealthiest European city[3] and it was instrumental in the advancement ofChristianity during Roman and Byzantine times. After the loss of its territory, the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire was reduced to just its capital city and its environs, eventually falling to the Ottomans in 1453. Following the Muslim conquest, the former bastion of Christianity in the east, Constantinople, was turned into the Islamic capital of the Ottoman Empire, under which it prospered and flourished again. After the founding of the modernRepublic of Turkey —the successor state of the Ottoman Empire— the city was renamed Istanbul in 1923.
