Theophilos (Θεόφιλος) was a Byzantine and Eastern Roman emperor of the 9th century. He is known for two things, his extensive fighting of the Arabs and being the last emperor to support Iconoclasm; allegedly kissing an icon before dying. His war against the Arabs occurred on several fronts from Sicily to Anatolia. There was a struggle for several regions, such as Kilikia, Kappadokia, Melitene, Arsamosata, and Ankyra. Some was lost to the Arabs, but Kilikia was retaken.
