The Byzantine army was fighting the Avars mutiny, rebels in Constantinople also killed the emperor. Shortly after that, the new emperor was also killed by a competitor for the throne, Heraclius. Heraclius decided to form new military districts called themes. The commander of each theme was also the governor of the region. The soldiers for each theme consisted of men who lived in the region. These people made better fighters than mercenaries since they were defending their homeland.
