Tiberius II Constantine (Latin: Tiberius Constantinus; Greek: Τιβέριος Κωνσταντῖνος, died 14 August 582) was an Eastern Roman emperor from 574 to 582. Tiberius rose to power when Justin II proclaimed him caesar because of mental breakdown and adopted him as his own son. Tiberius was elevated to augustus by Justin II and shortly afterwards he became sole ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire.
