 Taking advantage of the peace in the East, Justinian recovered the possession of the Balkans from the Slavic tribes. With a major campaign in 688-689, he defeated the Bulgars and took [[Thessalonica]], the empire’s second most important city in Europe. Justinian then returned to the offensive in the East, but after initial successes, the Arabs conquered Armenia by 695.
-Within the empire, Justinian attempted to suppress the [[Heresy|heretic]] Manichaeans and other non-Orthodox traditions. These actions, however, increased religious tensions. In 692, Justinian convened the [[Quinisext Council]] in Constantinople to ratify 102 disciplinary [[canon]]s from the [[Fifth Ecumenical Council|Fifth]] and [[Sixth Ecumenical Council]]s that had not been acted upon before the earlier councils were adjourned. As Pope Sergius I of Rome refused to sign the canons, as “lacking authority,” Justinian ordered him arrested. The arrest was not carried out, as the emperor’s military forces in [[Ravenna (Italy)|Ravenna]] supported Sergius and compromised Justinian’s relations with the West.

		+	In exile, the Cherson authorities found Justinian unwelcome. In 702 or 703, he learned that these authorities were planning to return him to Constantinople. He escaped the city and was befriended by Busir Glaven, who was the khan of the Khazars. Received enthusiastically by Busir, Justinian received Busir’s sister as his bride. Justinian and his wife, renamed Theodora, lived in Phanagoria on the Sea of Azov. He was warned by Theodora of a threat to his life by agents of Busir, who had been bribed to kill him. After strangling his attackers, Justinian sailed by ship westward across the Black Sea to Tervel of Bulgaria. Aided by Tervel, to whom he awarded a crown of Caesar and the hand of his daughter, Anastasia, Justinian returned in 705 to Constantinople with the backing of an army of Bulgar horsemen. He entered the city through an unused water conduit and seized control in a mid-night coup d’etat. Once again Justinian ascended the throne and then had his rivals Leontius and Tiberius executed. Patriarch Kallinikos I was deposed and blinded.
		+
		+	His second reign was marked by unsuccessful warfare against Bulgaria and Cherson. Turning on Caesar Tervel, Justinian invaded Bulgaria in 705, and lost. Peace, however, was quickly restored between Justinian and Tervel, but in Asia Minor his armies met with defeat.
		+
		+	Against his opponents in Cherson and Ravenna, Justinian was more successful. In 709, Justinian ordered Pope John VII to recognize the decisions of the Quinisext Council. The order was backed by a successful expedition to Revenna. In 710, the new Pope Constantine visited Constantinople and restored relations with Justinian by agreeing to some of his demands. This papal visit was the last one to the city until Pope Paul VI visited Istanbul in 1967.
		+
		+	Rebellion again arose in Cherson against Justinian’s tyrannical rule. Led by the exiled general Bardanes, the rebels captured Constantinople while Justinian was on his way to Armenia and unable to return to defend the city. Bardanes was proclaimed emperor under the name of Philippicus. In December 711, Justinian was arrested and executed outside the city. His head was sent to Philippicus as a trophy. Tiberius, Justinian’s son, was then murdered on orders of Emperor Philippicus, the act being done in front of his mother and grandmother Anastasia, thus ending the dynasty of [[Heraclius]].
