In 663 AD Emperor Constans II visited Rome for 12 days (no emperor having set foot in Rome for two centuries) and was received with great honor by Pope Vitalian.
His subsequent moves in Calabria and Sardinia were marked by building strippings and request of tributes that enraged his Italian subjects. Eventually he set up his court in Syracusae and many Historians tend to believe that he was going to move his capital there... However he was strangled in his bath in Syracusae by a servant on 15 September 668...
WI Constans II wished to relocate his Capital to Rome instead of Syracusae? How is this altering History? Any thoughts?
