Phocas was born in about 547 and became a usurping emperor at the age of 55. He is known to have been a centurion when he was chosen by the army to take the overthrown Maurice’s place. He was raised on a shield, the traditional way to declare an emperor, in 602. Maurice fled Constantinople (by now the seat of the Roman empire) with his sons but they were later executed followed by his wife and their daughters.
