That is a very interesting explanation, I had not found in the books I had read anything about this event.
So what with the diminishing Empire and natural disaster it does add more to the understanding of why Iconoclasm took place.
I can ask now, why did something like this not occur 200 years before under the reign of Justinian, which saw political tumult and many natural disasters like earthquakes and famine?
Excellent input Marcus.
