Leo II

Leo II (c. 467–474), called the Younger, was Eastern Roman emperor for barely a year, the only son of the Isaurian general Zeno and Ariadne, daughter of Emperor Leo I. On 17 November 473 his grandfather crowned him co-emperor, and on Leo I's death on 18 January 474 the seven-year-old became sole emperor.

On 29 January the Byzantine Senate made Zeno co-emperor. Leo II died in November 474, after which Zeno ruled alone.
