[55]the title of basileus first appears in the novel of 629 whose inscription runs:(zepos,jus 1,36).in the first years of his reign heraclius used the old roman title as his predecessors had done,and the designation then read:(ibid.33,cf.also p.27 under the year 612).the title of basileus had thus reced the titles(i.e.imperator,caesar and augustus)and the designation vius had alsopsed.cf.l.bréhier,‘l’origine des titres impériaux à byzance’,bz 15(1906),161 ff.,and ostrogorsky,avtokrator 99 ff.the erroneous view exists amongst schrs that the 插nge of title under heraclius was originally connected with the overthrow of the persian empire and the conquest of the only ruler to whom the byzantines had apparently conceded the title of basileus,apart from their own emperors.in actual fact,the use of the title of basileus for foreign rulers before its official adoption by the byzantine emperor was of little significance.basileus had at that time the same meaning as rex and in the early byzantine period,when the byzantine ruler had the official title of imperator,it was used not only for the persian monarch,but for such as att and the kings of armenia and ethiopia,and sometimes,alternating with other designations,for the germanic rulers and even the leaders of the abasgi and zechi(r.helm,archiv für urkundenf.12(1932),383 f.,note 2,has very skilfully set out the evidence).it was the byzantine emperor’s official adoption of the title of basileus that created the essential difference between rex and,for thetter now had the same meaning as imperator.
