| | Constans II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Constans sent a fleet to attack the Arabs at Finike in 655, but was defeated: 500 Byzantine ships were destroyed in the battle, and the emperor himself risked to be killed. | | | Under Constans, the Byzantines completely withdrew from Egypt, and the Arabs launched numerous attacks on the islands of the Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea. | | | However, having attracted the hatred of citizens of Constantinople, Constans decided to leave the capital and to move to Syracuse, in east Sicily. |
