the actual issue of their acceptance—was reached. While Constantine made concessions regarding the economia, he did not give ground on the vast majority of the Roman grievances. The agreement was more designed to secure East-West political unity than resolve any doctrinal dispute. The fact of Constantine's having been summoned to Constantinople was the real proof that the "imperial writ still ran in Rome". Constantine left Constantinople in October 711. He was the last pope to visit the city until Paul VI did in 1967. Rejection of Monothelitism Justinian II was killed by his mutinous troops in November 711, shortly after Constantine's return to Rome. The new emperor, Philippikos Bardanes, was an adherent of Monothelitism, and rejected the arrangements of the Third Council of Constantinople. He demanded Constantine's support of the view that Christ had only one will. In 712, Constantine rejected Philippikos' demand to revive Monothelitism. He further refused to receive an imperial portrait or coins with the emperor's image and also refused to commemorate the emperor in Mass. As the exarch attempted to enforce the imperial presence, clashes occurred, but Constantine was able to calm the situation. Philippikos was overthrown in June 713 and his successor, Anastasius II, had Exarch Scholasticus deliver to the pope a letter affirming his support for the Sixth General Council. Upon his death in Rome on 9 April 715, Constantine was succeeded by Gregory II.
