Resumo
The study deals with the appearance of the title of Anticus to the successors of Justinian I, namely from Justin II to Heraclius (565-612). The title appears for the first time in year 533 thanks to the military successes against the Antes, and with regard to its maintenance until the beginning of the 7th century, the assumption that it was due to a mere imitation of the titles of Justinian is rejected. On the contrary, it is argued that the main reason for the continuation of its appearance was the maintenance of the alliance of Byzantium with the Antes that was concluded in 545/46. Furthermore, the end of the title’s appearance is associated with the collapse of the limes of Scythia Minor in c. 614/15.
