Not really a usurper

According to the List of Roman Emperors, he was initially undisputed. Being undisputed means perfectly legitimate. -The Mysterious El Willstro 209.183.184.155 (talk) 21:28, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know about any clues of Eastern recognition of Joannes' rule? --TakenakaN (talk) 01:04, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Joannes was never recognised by Theodosius II and the Eastern court, which is why he is traditionally considered a usurper --Oatley2112 (talk) 06:01, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Joannes or Johannes?

Is there some rule for what to call roman emperors and other ancient roman persons in wikipedia articles? For example, Marcus Tullius Cicero is often called Tully in English, and similarly Joannes would be John. I understand that Joannes would be the real Latin way to spell it, but he seems to have actually gone by Johannes and all the sources I've seen use this spelling, not Joannes. Johannes just being the modernized spelling of his name as shown on the coin here (IOHANNES). It seems that someone named this article by "latinizing" John to Joannes instead of going by what he was actually called. Bfarb (talk) 17:31, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
