== Untitled ==
I liked that remark about Constantine V persecuting nuns and monks by forcing them to hold hands in the Hippodrome.  I always was against holding hands in church.  I never do it, especially if it's a guy next to me.  ''Smartalec''

== Constantine V ==
One of the greatest emperors ever.A great general, and an innovative ruler.Crushed the caliphate and rescued europe from the arabs.Also crused the Bulgars and humiliated the Pope by saying "I am the king and the priest" when the pope didn't obey him.
This article needs expansion.


Only did it in there bloodiest civil war when they couldn’t afford to send an army to the northern front, afterwards abbasids came and crushed byzantines and they started paying the jizyah bruh  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:FF0010|FF0010]] ([[User talk:FF0010#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/FF0010|contribs]]) 23:18, 5 November 2022 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Copronymous ==
Someone needs to find out and write up why history calls him Copronymous (Poop Name) [[User:Marty4286|Marty4286]] 21:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:It's already there. "Iconophiles considered his death a divine punishment. They spread the rumour that he had defecated in his baptismal font as a baby, and began to refer to him as Kopronymos." [[User:Adam Bishop|Adam Bishop]] 22:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

-Theophanes uses the term "kopronymos". See "Annus Mundi 6211" for the entry, or pp. 91-92 in Turtledove's translation.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/75.159.122.236|75.159.122.236]] ([[User talk:75.159.122.236|talk]]) 20:00, 23 May 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Image Worship? ==
I posit that the use of the phrase "image worship" in this article endorses the point of view of Iconoclasm and ought to be changed. The veneration of icons is not image worship, and is only refered to as such by its detractors. I will try and remember to check back in a while, and change this if there aren't legitimate objections.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/76.208.120.38|76.208.120.38]] ([[User talk:76.208.120.38|talk]]) 01:31, 25 September 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I agree, "veneration" of images is the NPOV term - not in itself either iconodule or iconoclast - while calling it "worship" is specifically iconoclast. Changing text accordingly. [[User:Vilcxjo|Vilĉjo]] ([[User talk:Vilcxjo|talk]]) 14:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

== Constantine is not a writer !! ==

Hi there 
The lead says below  Constantine v that he’s a writer 
This is a fat mistake right? [[User:Whatsupkarren|Whatsupkarren]] ([[User talk:Whatsupkarren|talk]]) 18:34, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

:No, the lead says that he was vilified by iconodule writers. However, in the text it does say that he wrote 13 theological treatises, so was a writer as well as being an emperor. [[User:Urselius|Urselius]] ([[User talk:Urselius|talk]]) 08:02, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

== Declaration ==

As i did read the sources put in the article, i strangely didn’t find anything approving in the claim put
After reading the contemporary sources, still couldn’t find anything about it, and it didn’t mention that an army marched at that year.
I would politely ask to remove this claim, since no sources approves in it. [[User:FF0010|FF0010]] ([[User talk:FF0010|talk]]) 23:21, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

:Really?
*"Leo III and the Isaurian dynasty (717-802)", Charles Diehl,''The Cambridge Medieval History, Vol 4: The eastern Roman empire'', ed. J.B. Bury, Cambridge University Press; "Most certainly Constantine V was , even more than his father , autocratic , violent , passionate , harsh , and often terrifying . ... '''Such was his military reputation that in 757 the Arabs retreated at the bare rumour of his approach'''".
