Talk:Anastasius I Dicorus

message: This page seems to have an inconsistency. At the top it says
"He gained the popular favour by a judicious remission of taxation,"
but at the bottom
"The financial policy of Anastasius was so prudent and economical that it gained him a reputation for avarice and contributed to his unpopularity"
Obviously his policies could have changed but there is no mention of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bob Palin  (talk • contribs) 16:51, 17 January 2004
---These don't seem inherently inconsistent.  He could have both reduced taxes and spending.  That fits with what I recall from Bury's "Later Roman Empire"149.69.100.55 (talk) 18:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

message: In Durrës city there is a street named "Anastas Durrësaku"  in the honor of the emperor maps. Durrës is the birthplace of the emperor. This name should be mentioned in this article. Bunker92 (talk) 15:20, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

message: The article currently claims Anastasius was son of a Pompeius and an Anastasia, who in turn was descended from the emperor Constantine I's daughter Constantina. I thought it strange that someone with an obscure background like Anastasius should have such illustrious ancestry. I found that this excerpt was added 12 years ago by a now banned user, who, using a sock account one year later, provided a reference to "Settipani" (not a reliable source that I know of). Two months ago, another source was added to support the claim. I [ checked this second source] in question: it's new and self-published (FriesenPress), and there can be little doubt that the relevant excerpt is copied from Wikipedia.
A more reliable source, Prosopography of the Later Roman Empire (vol. 2, pp. 76–77, 898–899, 1314), reveals that Pompeius was in fact the nephew of Anastasius, and Anastasia (apparently unrelated to the emperor), Pompeius's wife. I could find nothing supporting this niece Anastasia's supposed descent from Constantine. I see no reason why the whole statement shouldn't be discarded entirely.

replies: text: Yes, I've heard of him. He's not a reliable source, if he's indeed making the claim in question. Again, Pompeius is the emperor's nephew, not father. Avis11 (talk) 00:05, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

message: Beginning in the 6th Century AD, silk was added to Coptic textiles.  It was imported via the Red Sea maritime route, bypassing the Persians and arriving in Alexandria.  Anastasius had made a treaty with the Ghassanids in 502 AD in order to ensure security.  The gold used in trade came from Nubia. 70.107.119.177 (talk) 23:35, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

message: This article claims that the Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus was a monophysite, but isn't he a miaphysite? The article even contradicts itself at one point, which one is the final correct version? ImperatorTsar (talk) 19:52, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Religious doctine 

message: I suppose this is relatively minor to most people, but the emperor’s religious views should really be cleared up. In some parts of the article, he is called a monophysite and in others, a miaphysite. My understanding is that mono- means one (alone) while mia- means one (compounded), thus making them different beliefs. I know Oriental Christians get touchy about the terminology here. I don’t know which version Anastasius personally subscribed to, so I won’t change it myself, but perhaps someone more educated than I can clear up the confusion.
