Domenziolo (lat. Domnitziolus; ... - ...) was a Byzantine general of the seventh century. Biography modifies wikitesto
He was nephew of Emperor Foca (602-610) and probably a nephew of the homonymous Domeniciolo brother of Foca (with whom some sources confuse him). He married a certain Irene, from whom he had three children.
Appointed by Emperor Uncle Foca vir gloriossissimus, patrician and curopalate, in 604 it was placed under the command of the eastern army with the charge of magister militum for Orientem and sent against the Persians. Heliopolis discovered a conspiracy of Sergio and a lazy attack on Cappadocia; awaiting the retreat of the enemy, visiting Saint Theodore; afterwards (states the hagiographic source of the saint in question) would escape by miracle to a Persian ambush that the saint would have foreseen and, once he returned to Constantinople, he would visit the saint again, who would visit several times and make donations to convents. In 605 he obtained the resignation of the rebel general Narsete, assuring him that Foca would have saved his life, which was not the case because Foca condemned him to the stake. In 610, deposed Foca, the new emperor Heracles ordered the execution of Domenziolo, but by intercession of the aforementioned Saint Theodore, he spared it.
