About Theodosius (son of Maurice)
- Theodosius (Greek: Te?d?s???; August 4, 583/585 – after November 27, 602) was the eldest son of Byzantine Emperor Maurice (r.
- 582–602) and was co-emperor from 590 until his deposition and execution during a military revolt in November 602.
- Along with his father-in-law Germanus, he was briefly proposed as successor to Maurice by the troops, but the army eventually favoured Phocas instead.
- Sent in an abortive mission to secure aid from Sassanid Persia by his father, Theodosius was captured and executed by Phocas's supporters a few days after Maurice.
- Nevertheless, rumours spread that he had survived the execution, and became popular to the extent that a man who purported to be Theodosius was entertained by the Persians as a pretext for launching a war against Byzantium.
