Family
Originally betrothed as a young man to the daughter of Ino, Tiberius eventually married Ino after the deaths of her daughter and husband. She took on the name Anastasia in 578 after his accession to the purple. They had three children together, one of whom died before Tiberius was created Caesar in 574. Of his other two, both daughters, Constantina was married to Tiberius’s successor, Maurice, while the other, Charito, was married to Germanus. His wife and two daughters all outlived him.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
“If you have this enormous talent, it’s got you by the balls, it’s a demon. You can’t be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn’t that nice a guy.”
—Dustin Hoffman (b. 1937)
