How did Heraclius reform Byzantine rule?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heraclius reformed Byzantine rule by reorganizing the army into themes, which were not only responsible for defense but also for governing civil administration. This allowed for more efficient and effective administration of the Byzantine Empire. There is no evidence that he strengthened the power of the Eastern Orthodox Church or dropped taxes to record lows. In fact, he had to increase taxes to fund his military campaigns. There is also no evidence that he persecuted Jewish communities.
