On the night of November 14th 565, the death of the childless Justinian was rapidly reported by the only one witness. The latter, a high official named Callinicus, claimed that the great emperor had designated his nephew Justin as successor; the senators backed this claim. Justin had prominent allies in the palace. With the support of the commander of the imperial guard Tiberius and the patriarch of Constantinople John Scholasticus, Justin II was acclaimed Augustus.
