Justinian II was killed by his mutinous troops in November 711, shortly after Constantine's return to Rome. The new emperor, [[Philippicus]], was an adherent of [[monothelitism]], and rejected the arrangements of the Third Council of Constantinople. He demanded Constantine's support of the view that Christ had only one will. In 712, Constantine rejected Philippicus' demand to revive monothelitism. He further refused to receive an imperial portrait or coins with the emperor's image and also refused to commemorate the emperor in Mass.<ref name="e247"/>

As the exarch attempted to enforce the imperial presence, clashes occurred, which Constantine calmed. Philippicus was overthrown in June 713 and his successor, [[Anastasius II (emperor)|Anastasius II]], sent Exarch [[Scholasticus]] and a letter to the pope affirming imperial support for the Sixth General Council.
