Pogonatus describes his son Constantine IV - cf. the Greek page on Byzantine emperors. - Jowfair

Not really - a look at the coin on the left is enough to convince oneself that he has got a long and very distinctive beard ("Pogonatos" = bearded). The beard of his son Constantine IV never grew that long (see his coins). This confusion was explained in an article in Byzantinische Zeitschrift some 100 years ago - a good example of the perseverance of old errors... - Marek

He is known as Constans to historians. Just like his predecessor Constans. No need to rename the article to the unused "Constantine". The form Constantine II (emperor) applies to the son of Constantine I (emperor) and Fausta who reigned from 337 to 340. User:Dimadick

As far a I know, Constans went to Syracuse only after his visit in Rome in autumn 663. Somebody said that he went in Syracuse in 661. Is there a reference for that? User:Gmelfi

[edit] Last consul?

The introductory text claims that Constans was the last Roman consul. Yet the consul succesion box at the bottom of the article lists Justinian II as having held the consulship later. This contradiction needs to be resolved.--Iacobus (talk) 03:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
