Symbatios (Greek: Συμβάτιος from the Armenian Smbat) variously also Sabbatios (Σαββάτιος) or Sambates (Σαμβάτης) in some sources was the eldest son of the Byzantine emperor Leo V the Armenian (r. 813–820). Soon after the coronation of his father he was crowned co-emperor and renamed Constantine (Κωνσταντίνος). He reigned nominally along with his father until the latter’s deposition in 820 after which he was exiled to Prote as a monk.
