Basileus is a title, not a name, it means King, plain and simple. There were lots of Byzantine rulers calling themselves Basileus, like Konstantin, Andronikos, Isaakios (all of them with numbers I II III etc.) and others.

Sir Ralph speaks the truth.

Thank you I didn´t knew that. What emperor should I use then? Remember the mod starts is 610.

610 - 642 was the reign of Herakleios.

By the way, I have to take back my remark. Searching for Byzantine emperors, I found that you are right and there was indeed an emperor Basileios II, ruling the empire 976 - 1025. So the word Basileios seems to be a name that later became a title, similar to Caesar or Augustus.

Well he is the Basileios in the mod. His nickname was the Bulgar slayer, because he captured Bulgaria back. Also Byzantium endured a small rennaisance during his rule afaik.

Basileus was a title in Hellenic Greece as well. I think it was a title that became a name, rather than a name that became a title.
